It contains graphical interfaces for SunView, X11 and XView, as well as being able to function on normal display terminals using a termcap interface. Reve is played on an 8 x 8 board, with stones which should be considered to be black on one side and white on the other. A legal move consists of placing a stone of one's own color on the board so as to "sandwich" one or more rows (orthogonal or diagonal) of stones of the opposite color between the stone just placed and another stone of the same color. All stones so sandwiched are flipped over to reveal the color of the other side (your own color). The object of the game, is to have more stones than the opponent at the end of the game (ie. when the board is full or neither side has a legal move). If you have no legal move, you simply miss a turn. Black goes first. With _r_e_v_e, to place one of your own stones simply click with the mouse over the square in which you want your stone to go. Note that it is also possible to supply a number and a letter pair, to indicate where you would like your new stone to go. This is the only method to place stones with the dumb tty interface. The square containing the last move will be shown with a black outline. This is updated with each new move. If you hold the mouse button down as you move around the board, the square you are currently over will be highlighted. There are various buttons, choice, toggles and cyclic selections available. Their meanings are given below, plus an indication of their keyboard equivalents. With the cyclic selections, clicking over the left half of the cycle item increments the selection, and clicking over the right half of the cycle item decrements the selection. Control-l is a keyboard accelerator for redrawing the _r_e_v_e windows. By default, a human will play black, and the computer will play white.

RRRREEEEVVVVEEEE BBBBUUUUTTTTTTTTOOOONNNNSSSS With the graphics versions, there are ten buttons that are normally displayed at the top of the _r_e_v_e window. Each of these buttons, has a keyboard equivalent which is given in brackets below. Note that the XView version has a slightly different appearance, but it should be easy to deduce what each option does. llllooooaaaadddd [[[[ LLLL ]]]] Load a game file. The format of this game file is given below.

Clicking over the ccccaaaannnncccceeeellll button or pressing the Escape key will cancel the load operation. When you press the Return key, filename entry is complete, and the program will try to load this file. If it's unsuccessful, it will stop on the invalid line, and display an error message. As each line is successfully read from the game file, the stone is displayed on the board, and the appropriate stones flipped. mmmmoooovvvveeeessss????

The property sheet has two choice items, one cyclic item, and six toggle items. Click with the left mouse button over the option you want from the choice items. With the cyclic items, click with the left mouse button over the appropriate half, to either increment or decrement the current value. Clicking left over the toggle item boxes, will toggle the value of that item on or off. The choice and toggle items also have keyboard equivalents which are given in brackets below. The choice items must be followed by the value of the new selection you wish to make. The dumb tty version has the equivalent of these items displayed to the right of the reve board display.
