💖 NBREVERSI 💖

okay bestie so there's this game, right, reversi / nbreversi — it's the Othello-style disk-flipping situation and honestly it's giving main character energy. this page is the little manual that lives in section 6 of the manual pages, iykyk.

✨ NAME ✨

reversi, nbreversi — that's the name, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🎮 CONTROLS 🎮

okay so here's how you actually drive this thing, no cap:

  • RETURN / ENTER — puts the piece down. like, committing. slay 💅
  • hjkl / ARROW KEYS — moves the cursor around the board 🦋
  • q — quits. bye bestie 😭
  • F1 & F2 — help screens, one for the controls and one for the gameplay. iconic of them fr fr
YOU CAN ALSO USE THE MOUSE! 🐭✨ yes literally, mouse users we love you, you're so valid

👑 GAMEPLAY 👑

so the way this works: players take turns placing disks on the board. that's the whole loop. here are the rules, and yes you need all three:

  1. Any pieces of the opponent's color that is bounded

in a straight line between the piece just placed and

another piece of the current player's color would turn

to the current player's color.

  1. You can only put pieces if at least one of your

opponent's pieces turns into your color.

  1. The game ends when neither side can do a move and

the player with more pieces wins.

lowkey the whole game is just flipping your enemy's disks into your own little army. highkey obsessed. 🔥

and that's the whole page bestie, no notes, go play 🫶
