RULES OF THE GAME

Play  is  on an 8 by 8 grid of squares.
Each player takes it in turn to place a
piece  on  an  empty  square  with  the
following restrictions:

a. Initially, you  must fill the centre
   four squares.
b. When these are  filled  you can only
   play by making at least one capture,
   otherwise you must pass.
c. Captures are made  by  placing  your
   peice  so that it is at one end of a
   line  (possibly   diagonal)  of  the
   opponent's  pieces,   with   another
   piece of yours already at  the other
   end, or in the middle somewhere. The
   opponent's  pieces  in the  captured
   line,  between   your  pieces,  then
   become yoursand so change colour.
d. The game ends when  nobody can place
   a  piece  (usually when the board is
   full). The winner is the one who has
   the most pieces at this point.

PLAYING THE GAME

Once the game  is  loaded you are asked
if you want instructions. These  give a
summary of how to play the  game. Press
either  'y'  for  Yes  or  'n'  for  No
followed by RETURN.

You  are then asked to set the 'display
delay'.  When   a   move  is  made  the
computer will  display the piece on the
board as a  square so you can see which
was the last move made. After a certain
length of time this  piece  will change
to a circle like all the  other  pieces
on   the   board.  The  time  taken  is
determined by the display delay. A good
value  to use is 5000. Enter the number
you require followed by RETURN.

Next the  computer  asks whether or not
you want to go  first. Enter 'Y' or 'N'
followed by RETURN.

Finally  you  have to enter  the  skill
level you require.  You have the choice
of 9 levels, 1 being the simplest and 9
the most difficult.

The  computer  always  plays  the  dark
pieces.

YOUR MOVE

If you have chosen  to  move  first you
will see the first prompt at the bottom
of the screen.

Your move

(If you are using keyboard controls...)
Enter  your proosed move as a two-digit
number -  row  first  and then column -
and then press RETURN.

(If you have joystick controls........)
If  joysticks  are  connected  use  the
joystick  to  move  the  cursor  to the
square  you  wish  to  fill,  and  then
confirm  the  move by pressing the fire
button.

HAVING SELECTED A MOVE

If it is  not possible for you to place
a piece in the  square  you have chosen
then the computer will wait for  you to
try again. If your move is allowed then
a  small  coloured square will be shown
in  the  square   you  have  chosen  to
indicate the current  move.  This  will
then  turn into a propper piece after a
certain  length   of   time   which  is
determined  by   the   value   for  the
'display delay' entered previously.

Use 'U' to Undo a move. If the computer
has completed  a  move  since your last
move this will be undone as well.

THE COMPUTER'S MOVE

The  computer  prints its intended move
on the screen  in  the  usual  notation
(i.e. row and column numbers) but waits
for   you   to   press   RETURN  before
completing the move.

LEAVING THE GAME

Pressing  'Q'  will  quit  the  current
game. You will then be given the option
of  starting  annother  game or leaving
the program.

If you choose to start  a  new game, by
answering  'Y', then  the computer will
retain the value of the 'display delay'
you selected initialy and will just ask
if you wish to go first and which skill
level you require.

Should you wish to  select  a new value
for  the  'display  delay'  or  see the
instructions  again, press ESCAPE. This
will start a new session

To    exit  the  program  press  <CTRL>
<BREAK> then <SHIFT> <BREAK> to re-boot
the Welcome disc.
