Annotation of 43BSDReno/old/btlgammon/backrules, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        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!!!
