REVE, GAMES, An othello game under MOTIF Reve is a version of the popular Othello game. It contains graphical interfaces for SunView, X11 and XView, as well as being able to function on normal display terminals using a termcap interface. Reve is played on an 8 x 8 board, with stones which should be considered to be black on one side and white on the other. A legal move consists of placing a stone of one's own color on the board so as to "sandwich" one or more rows (orthogonal or diagonal) of stones of the opposite color between the stone just placed and another stone of the same color. All stones so sandwiched are flipped over to reveal the color of the other side (your own color). The object of the game, is to have more stones than the opponent at the end of the game (ie. when the board is full or neither side has a legal move). If you have no legal move, you simply miss a turn. Black goes first. With reve, to place one of your own stones simply click with the mouse over the square in which you want your stone to go. Note that it is also possible to supply a number and a letter pair, to indicate where you would like your new stone to go. This is the only method to place stones with the dumb tty interface. The square containing the last move will be shown with a black outline. This is updated with each new move. If you hold the mouse button down as you move around the board, the square you are currently over will be highlighted. There are various buttons, choice, toggles and cyclic selec- tions available. Their meanings are given below, plus an indication of their keyboard equivalents. With the cyclic selections, clicking over the left half of the cycle item increments the selection, and clicking over the right half of the cycle item decrements the selection. Control-l is a keyboard accelerator for redrawing the reve windows. By default, a human will play black, and the computer will play white. If you want a human vs human startup or some other combination, then you should use the appropriate com- mand line options. Computer strategy: Yves Gallot (no net address at present).
