<para>&kenolaba; is a simple board strategy game that is played by two
|
|
players. There are red and yellow pieces for each player. Beginning from
|
|
a position where each player has 14 pieces, moves are drawn until
|
|
one player has pushed 6 of their opponent's pieces out of the
|
|
board.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The original program was developed in 1993 for DOS and pure
|
|
Xlib. For &kde; there was a major rewrite.</para>
|
|
|
|
<note><para> If you know the board game called Abalone, you will like this
|
|
program. In fact, this program was inspired by the mentioned game.
|
|
Abalone is a trademark of Abalone SA, France.</para></note>

&kenolaba; supports playing across a network. This allows two people to
|
|
play against each other on different computers, or one person to observe
|
|
the game play of another &kenolaba; program. To use &kenolaba;'s network
|
|
features, &kenolaba; must be set to Network Mode by selecting

|
|
|
|
<para>To exchange positions, the &kenolaba; programs have to be told
|
|
about each other. If they are running on the same machine, nothing is
|
|
needed (apart from switching to Network Mode). If running on different
|
|
computers you have to specify the other's machine on the command line
|
|
with the <option>-h</option> switch, as so:</para>

<note><para> For insiders: &kenolaba;, when in Network Mode, listens on
|
|
a <acronym>TCP</acronym> socket for position change commands by other
|
|
&kenolaba; programs. You can specify the port number with the
|

<option>-p</option> command line switch. You need this if you want to

play two different &kenolaba; Network games.</para></note>

mouse button on a red piece, or the <mousebutton>middle</mousebutton>

<guimenuitem>Copy</guimenuitem> in one program and
|
|
<guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem> in the other, but this is better done

|
with Network Mode (see above). Another usage is to save positions into a

text file (using <guimenuitem>Copy</guimenuitem> and your Editor of

choice) and retrieve a position later by selecting it in the editor and
