GRIDLOCK(6)							   Games Manual 						       GRIDLOCK(6)

NAME

       Gridlock - collection of grid-based board games

SYNOPSIS

       Gridlock

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the Gridlock command.

       Gridlock  is a collection of several grid-based strategy games. The games include Ataxx, Reversi, Gomoku, Connect Four, Breakthrough, Glass
       Bead, Hexapawn, Quad Wrangle, Cats and Dogs and Moray Eels.

       After launching the application, the game window will appear. Select the game you want to play from the "Game"  popup  menu  in	the  upper
       right. Some games have different starting configurations (board size, grid layout, etc); when one of those games are selected a "Configura-
       tions" popup menu will appear from which you can select a configuration.

       The bottom right displays the color and status of the two players.  Each player's color is shown by a circle; the player whose turn  it	is
       has  a filled circle. For games in which players have a score (Ataxx, Eeversi, Glass Bead), the scores are shown next to the player labels.
       Popup windows underneath each player's label allow you to specify whether each player is human or computer-controlled, and  the	difficulty
       of computer players. (Note that "Hard" computer opponents may take a long time to make their moves).

       The  rest  of the window contains the game board. To make a move, click on the cell where you wish to place a piece. Ataxx and Breakthrough
       require that you move from one cell to another; to do this first click on the cell you wish to move from, then click on the cell  you  wish
       to  move to. For all games, cells that are legal moves will become highlighted when you move the mouse over them. If you are unable to make
       a move, you can pass by clicking the "Pass" button on the right.  The "Restart" button will restart the game, requiring confirmation  if  a
       game is in progress.

       You can play these games over the network. It is possible to save and load games.

       Black plays first.  The program normally plays white.  To specify a move, name the square moved from and the square moved to.  For multiple
       jumps name all the squares touched.

       Certain commands may be given instead of moves:

       reverse	Reverse roles; the program takes over your pieces.

       backup	Undo the last move for each player.

       list	Print the record of the game.

       move	Let the program select a move for you.

       print	Print a map of the present position.
