( REVE, GAMES, An othello game under MOTIF    E          Reve is a version of the popular Othello game.  It  contains E          graphical  interfaces for SunView, X11 and XView, as well as E          being able to function on normal display terminals  using  a           termcap interface.   E          Reve is played on an 8 x 8 board, with stones  which  should E          be  considered  to  be  black  on  one side and white on the E          other. A legal move consists of placing a stone of one's own E          color  on  the  board  so  as to "sandwich" one or more rows E          (orthogonal or diagonal) of stones  of  the  opposite  color E          between  the stone just placed and another stone of the same E          color. All stones so sandwiched are flipped over  to  reveal 6          the color of the other side (your own color).  E          The object of the game, is to  have  more  stones  than  the E          opponent  at the end of the game (ie. when the board is full E          or neither side has a legal move).  If  you  have  no  legal 9          move, you simply miss a turn.  Black goes first.   E          With reve, to place one of your own stones simply click with E          the  mouse  over  the square in which you want your stone to E          go. Note that it is also possible to supply a number  and  a E          letter pair, to indicate where you would like your new stone E          to go. This is the only method to place stones with the dumb E          tty  interface.  The square containing the last move will be E          shown with a black outline. This is updated  with  each  new E          move.  If  you hold the mouse button down as you move around E          the board,  the  square  you  are  currently  over  will  be           highlighted.   E          There are various buttons, choice, toggles and cyclic selec- E          tions  available.   Their  meanings are given below, plus an E          indication of their keyboard equivalents.  With  the  cyclic E          selections,  clicking  over  the left half of the cycle item E          increments the selection, and clicking over the  right  half E          of  the  cycle item decrements the selection. Control-l is a =          keyboard accelerator for redrawing the reve windows.   E          By default, a human will play black, and the  computer  will E          play  white.  If  you  want a human vs human startup or some E          other combination, then you should use the appropriate  com-           mand line options.     E          Computer  strategy:  Yves  Gallot    (no  net   address   at           present).=          Graphics interface: Rich Burridge  richb@Aus.Sun.COM       
