💖 IAGNO — the reversi girlie's manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to iagno(6), from the Games Manual section of your local man pages, and let me tell you, this one is a whole vibe. grab a snack, we're flipping disks. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Reversi — a disk flipping strategy board game 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

iagno [OPTION...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So. Reversi is a two-player strategy game, played on an 8 by 8 board. The tiles? Dark on one side, light on the other. Two-faced icons, honestly. 💅

The whole object of reversi is to flip your opponent's tiles to your color, while your opponent is out here trying to flip your tiles to their color. The way it works: opponent's tiles get flipped when they're trapped between an already placed tile of your color and the tile you just added. Trapped. Surrounded. No escape. 😭 And whoever finishes with more tiles wins! periodt.

Reversi lets you play both a classic reversi game, and the reversed variant, where the goal is to finish with less tiles than your opponent. yes, less. chaotic, iconic, love that for us. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --alternative-start
  • --random-start
  • --usual-start — Reversi can be played with two different initial positions, and these three are how you pick one. --usual-start and --alternative-start let you directly choose which initial position gets used, and --random-start is for choosing one randomly. 🎲 Heads up though: the three options disable setting the mode from the window. And you should only use one of these options at the same time, bestie, don't be greedy.
  • --classic
  • --reverse — Reversi includes two games played with the same mechanisms. --classic challenges you to finish with more pieces. --reverse challenges you to finish with less pieces. Again: only use one of these at the same time. 🌸
  • -f, --fast-moves — play with reduced delay before the computer moves. impatient girlie mode, activated. ⚡
  • --first
  • --second
  • --two-players — sets the game mode. --first and --second are for a one-player game, where the player plays respectively first and second. --two-players is for a two-players game mode. And yes, you already know what I'm about to say: only use one of these options at the same time. 🙈
  • -h, --help — prints the command line options and exits. your little escape hatch. 🫶
  • -l, --level=<level> — changes the computer's AI level (1-3). 1 is the easiest, 2 is good, 3 is the hardest. level 3 will humble you, no cap. 💀
  • --mute
  • --unmute — turn off/on the sound. If the two options are given, the game is muted. (mute wins. mute always wins.) 🔇
  • -s, --size=<size> — changes the size of the board. The size must be at least 4. This option is for debugging only. The AI may not perform optimally. ⚠️
  • -v, --version — prints the program version and exits. ⭐
This program also accepts the standard GTK+ options. 🧚
