To play backgammon, you must type the numbers
|
|
of the points from which pieces are to be
|
|
moved. For example, if the roll was '2 6',
|
|
typing '12 15' will move a piece from point
|
|
12 two spaces to point 14 and a piece from
|
|
point 15 six spaces to point 21. If the moves
|
|
must be made in the opposite order, you must
|
|
prepend the first number with a minus ('-').
|
|
Thus, typing '-12 15' will move a piece from
|
|
point 12 six spaces and a piece from point 15
|
|
two spaces. If you want to move a single piece
|
|
several times the sequence of points from
|
|
which it is to be moved must be typed. For
|
|
example, if the roll is '3 5', typing
|
|
'14 17' will move a piece from point 14 to
|
|
point 17 and then to point 22. If a double
|
|
is rolled, you should enter four numbers.
|
|
|
|
Brown pieces that have been removed from the
|
|
board after being hit by white are on point 0
|
|
and must be brought in before any other moves
|
|
can be made. White pieces that are hit are
|
|
removed to point 25.
|
|
|
|
Illegal or excessive moves are detected, however
|
|
if you choose to skip part or all of your turn
|
|
you may do so. Type a '?' when you are asked
|
|
for your move and a list of available actions
|
|
will be printed. Good luck!!!
