.Nd game of 5 in a row
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl bcdu
.Op Fl D Ar debugfile
.Op Ar savefile
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a two player game where the object is to get 5 in a row horizontally,
vertically or diagonally on a 19 by 19 grid.
By convention, black always moves first.
With no arguments,
.Nm
will display a playing board and prompt for moves from the user.
Moves may be entered by selecting the desired board location and
pressing the space or enter key.
The cursor may be moved using the arrow keys or
.Xr vi 1
motion keys
.Em hjklyubn .
These also may be familiar from
.Xr rogue 6
and
.Xr hack 6 .
.\" Valid moves are a letter for the column and a number for the row
.\" of an empty board location.
To quit, type
.Sq Q ,
and to save the game, type
.Sq S
and supply a file name when prompted.
To restore a saved game, pass the file name on the
.Nm
command line.
.Pp
The options are:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl b
This option sets background mode.
Input moves are read from standard input,
the computer picks a move, and prints it to standard output.
The first input line should be either
.Dq black
or
.Dq white
to specify whether
.Nm
has the first move or not respectively.
This option was intended for game tournaments where a referee program handles
the board display and pits one program against another.
.It Fl c
Computer versus computer.
.Nm
will play a game against itself.
This is mostly used for testing.
.It Fl d
Print debugging information.
Repeating this option more than once yields more detailed information.
.It Fl D Ar debugfile
Print the debug information to
.Ar debugfile
instead of to the standard output.
.It Fl u
User versus user.
This is mostly used for testing.
