HOW TO PLAY

       First decide who will host the game. (you or your friend/opponent)

       Now the one who is going to host the game must (do the following):

       1. run nettoe (Doh)

       2. choose the option 3 (Two players over network) from the Main Menu

       3. choose the option 1 (Host the Game) from the Network Game Menu

       4. type in his name or nickname (NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED).

       5. comunicate the IP address to the other player.  ( hostname also works... if resolved, of course) ( I hope you know how to  get  your	IP
       address...)

       6. Just wait for the other player to connect to your host.

       Now for the other player (the one who is going to connect to the hosted game ):

       1. run nettoe (really ?, Yaeh relly.)

       2. choose the option 3 (Two players over network) from the Main Menu

       3. choose the option 2 (Connect to a host) from the Network Game Menu

       4. type your name or nickname (NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED).

       5. type in the IP address of the host or the hostname.  IP address examples: 192.168.0.5, ::1
       Hostname example  : myfriend.hostname.com (must be a valid hostname)

       6. Just wait for the game to start .

       Enjoy. And if you have any problem just let me know.

NETWORK PORTS

       netToe uses tcp-port 7501 for listening port of the server engine.  Thus this port must be transportable across the network, possibly pass-
       ing routers in the path.  For a local game this is of course mostly irrelevant.

NAME

       jester - an X-based game similar to Othello(tm)

SYNOPSIS

       jester [{-display, -d, --display} display] [{-h, -help, --help}] [-2players] [-ai {white, black}]

DESCRIPTION

       jester  is  an X-based game similar to the board game Othello.  jester allows you to waste hours of otherwise productive time that could be
       spent playing Solitaire instead.

GAME PLAY

       There are two players, one playing the white pieces, the other playing the black pieces.  Each player takes turns placing a piece of his or
       her  color on an 8x8 board.  Each piece must be placed so as to bracket a line of the opponent's pieces between two of the current player's
       pieces.	When this happens, the opponent's pieces are replaced by pieces of the current player's color.

       When the cursor is over a square that it is legal for the current player to play in, the cursor will change to a pointing  hand.   A  small
       rectangle in the upper right side of the window shows the color of the current player.

       The  game ends when a player cannot make a move, either because the board is full or because the position of the pieces makes it impossible
       to make a move.	At this point, the player with the most pieces on the board is the winner.  You will be offered the option of  starting  a
       new game.

       You may exit at any time by clicking the "Exit" button.

   OPTIONS
       -d, -display, --display display
	      Display on display.

       -h, -help, --help
	      Print a help message and exit.

       -2players
	      Play against another person at the same console.

       -ai {white, black}
	      Tell the computer which side to play.  The default behavior is equivalent to -ai black.

ENVIRONMENT

       jester uses the environment variable "DISPLAY" as the default display.  This can be overridden on the command line.

BUGS

       None known...
