System Requirements
This program was developed and tested on BeOS version 5.0 for x86. It should run on BeOS 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 PE as well, although none of those configurations has been tested. A BeOS 5.0 PPC version may be built in the near future.

To Start Playing
The program starts a new game immediately when it is launched. You are the white player. When it is your turn, the squares in which you can move are lighted. Click on a square to make your move. Note that when playing a computer opponent at the easy or medium levels, the computer may move so quickly you won't notice.

Where you can Move
When you place a piece by clicking on a lighted square, pieces between your newly-placed piece and other pieces of your same color are turned to your color. Pieces are changed along the horizontal, vertical, and diagonals. You can only place a piece where at least one of your oppoent's pieces is changed to your color.

And the winner is...
When neither player can move, the winner is the one with the most pieces on the board.
