- > REVERSI - Adapted from the Alan Dickinson BBC B game
- by Alex Hopkins.
-
- The game of Reversi is played on an 8x8 board using 64
- counters which are red on one side and white on the
- other.
- Play begins in the four central squares and moves out.
- The first four counters are placed at the start of the
- game by the program.
- The object of the game is to finish with more of your
- counters showing than your opponent.
- The aim of any move on the board is to trap opponent's
- counters between two of your own. This will cause the
- line of your opponent's counters to 'flip over' and
- thus become yours. {the line can run in any direction,
- Horizontal, Vertical or Diagonal}
-
- Desktop playing and menus:
-
- Once the Reversi icon has been installed on the Iconbar
- the board window can be opened by clicking SELECT over
- the Reversi icon.

- Options - this opens another menu where you can set the
- type of player (Human or ARCHIMEDES), the level of
- difficulty (EASY, FAIR, AVERAGE or DIFFICULT) and if
- you want the computer to play AUTOmatically.
- If AUTO mode is ON then the ARCHIMEDES will play it's
- move immediately after you, if OFF then you will have
- to click on COMPUTER MOVE when you want the computer to
- move {useful if both players are ARCHIMEDES}.
- When you have made your choices click the OK box.
