NAME
       GNOME Reversi - A disk flipping strategy board game

SYNOPSIS
       iagno [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION
       Reversi  is  a  two-player  strategy  game,  played on an 8 by 8 board.
       Players use tiles that are dark on one side and light on the other.

       The object of reversi is to flip your opponent’s tiles to  your  color,
       while your opponent is trying to flip your tiles to his own color.  Op-
       ponent’s tiles are flipped when trapped between an already placed  tile
       of your color and the tile you add. Who finishes with more tiles wins!

       GNOME  Reversi  allows you to play both a classic reversi game, and the
       reversed variant, where the goal is to finish with less tile than  your
       opponent.

OPTIONS
       --alternative-start
       --random-start
       --usual-start
              Reversi can be played with two different initial positions.
              The  options --usual-start and --alternative-start permit to di-
              rectly choose which initial position will be used.
              The option --random-start is for choosing one randomly.
              The three options disable setting the mode from the window.
              You should only use one of these options at the same time.

       --classic
       --reverse
              GNOME Reversi includes two games played  with  the  same  mecha-
              nisms.
              The option --classic challenges to finish with more pieces.
              The option --reverse challenges to finish with less pieces.
              You should only use one of these options at the same time.

       -f, --fast-moves
              Play with reduced delay before the computer moves.

       --first
       --second
       --two-players
              Sets the game mode.
              The  options  --first  and  --second  are for a one-player game,
              where the player plays respectively first and second.
              The option --two-players is for a two-players game mode.
              You should only use one of these options at the same time.

       -h, --help
              Prints the command line options and exits.

       -l, --level=<level>
              Changes the computer's AI level (1-3).
              1 is the easiest, 2 is good, 3 is the hardest.

       --mute
       --unmute
              Turn off/on the sound.
              If the two options are given, the game is muted.

       -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  opti-
              mally.

       -v, --version
              Prints the program version and exits.

       This program also accepts the standard GTK+ options.
