1 | To play backgammon, you must type the numbers of the points from |
2 | which pieces are to be moved. For example, if the roll was '2 6', typing | |
3 | '12 15' will move a piece from point 12 two spaces to point 14 and a piece | |
4 | from point 15 six spaces to point 21. If the moves must be made in the | |
5 | opposite order, you must prepend the first number with a minus ('-'). Thus, | |
6 | typing '-12 15' will move a piece from point 12 six spaces and a piece from | |
7 | point 15 two spaces. | |
8 | If you want to move a single piece several times the sequence of | |
9 | points from which it is to be moved must be typed. For example, if the | |
10 | roll is '3 5', typing '14 17' will move a piece from point 14 to point | |
11 | 17 and then to point 22. If a double is rolled, you should enter four numbers. | |
12 | Brown pieces that have been removed from the board after being hit | |
13 | by white are on point 0 and must be brought in before any other moves can be | |
14 | made. White pieces that are hit are removed to point 25. | |
15 | Illegal or excessive moves are detected, however if you choose to skip | |
16 | part or all of your turn you may do so. | |
17 | Type a '?' when you are asked for your move and a list of available | |
18 | actions will be printed. | |
19 | Good luck!!! |
