Subj: Reversi for HP48SX
Date: 04 Sep 1992
Here is yet another Reversi for HP48SX
Hope you like it!
[Wow! Sure do! -jkh-]
Quick Reversi 1.0
=================
1.0 Introduction
Here's my version of the famous game of Reversi. It is written
entirely in assembly, so that you can enjoy quick response from
the keyboard and the screen.
To run it, you will need about 2200 bytes of free memory.
If you rather want a library version, go ahead and make it. Or
send me a note and I will do it for you. It's not self-modifying
so it shouldn't be any problem storing it in a library.
It is playing a bit uneven but I hope you'll find it interesting
enough to play with.
If you like the overall design of this game, and would like to
see more games of this kind, please make a contribution by
registering your copy.
The package consists of the following files:

QR Program file (chksum=671Ah, size=10885)
2.0 Getting started
Make sure you have backed up all important data.
Download the file QR to your HP48SX and check the chksum. After
downloading, press [VAR] followed by softkey [QR] to start the
program. The introduction screen will display and, after a few
seconds, the main screen will come on.
Use the cursor keys to move into a good location, and set by
pressing [ENTER]. The HP48SX will then consider it's move for a few
seconds, and when done, briefly flash it's symbol where it intends
to set. If it can't set, it will say so, and it will be your turn
again.
As an alternative to using the cursor keys you can also use the
[NXT] key. This will take you to the next valid position on the
board. Pressing repeatedly will circle through all positions.
To see all valid positions at once, press [VAR]. A small mark
will show up in every valid position for as long as you hold the
key down.
If you want the HP48SX to begin, you can pass instead of making
the first move, this is done by pressing [SIN]. Once the game has
started, you may pass only according to the rules (not included.)
At any time, when it's your turn, you can press [PRG] ('H') to
bring up help summary. Browse help by using [UP] and [DOWN], or
simply press [PRG] for next page. You can exit help on any screen
by pressing [BACKSPACE].
If you want to give up a game, press [BACKSPACE] and confirm it
by pressing [+/-] ('Y').
