Click on an empty tile anywhere adjacent to a piece of the same color. You may only place a new piece on an empty tile, not ontop of another piece, or in a space with no tile.

Click on a player piece of the currently selected player to put it in "jump" mode. The piece will start bouncing in place You may then click on a tile on the other side of an adjacent tile to hop the piece over it. Note that this leaves an empty place that the other player may jump into.

Although players switch automatically, alternating turns, you can switch player pieces with the "P" key. Note that the highlighted player changes in the upper lefthand corner, indicating whose turn it is.

How the game works:

Players alternate turns. The object of the game is to gain the most spaces on the board by "capturing" the most tiles. A tile is captured if a player piece is set on it. When a player places a piece on a tile (either by placing or hopping onto it), all the tiles around the captured tile that are occupied by the other player are captured as well. In a typical game, a lot of back-and forth capturing occurs. A player wins when there are no more possible moves for one or both of the players. This can happen in three ways:


1. There are no more empty tiles on the board.
2. There are no more of one player's pieces on the board (one player is wiped out)
3. One player traps another, so there are no more moves that the other can make. If this happens, the trapping player gains the rest of the ending tiles.


In each case, the player with the most captured tiles wins. This count is kept in red under the respective player at the top left-hand corner of the screen.

Other Modes:

Press 'H' to activate Help mode. When you are in jump mode, this shows you where you can jump to, by making a tile under the mouse cursor flash if you can jump to it. This is useful for beginners, and also for odd camera angles where it may not be obvious where you are alowed to jump.

You can switch the texture of the game board by pressing the "T" key once, to switch to the next texture, or multiple times to scroll through the textures available.
