Animations

All the animation option are in the Settings->Preferences menus with the Animations tab highlighted.

Amount of Animation

This option controls the amount of animation present when each tile is flipped, using radio buttons. Selecting the option none will cause the tiles to change color instantaneously. Selecting the option partial will cause the animation to flip the tiles slowly. Selecting the complete option will cause the tiles to flip slowly and smoothly.

Stagger Flips

This option causes captured tiles along a row, column, or diagonal to flip one after another, like dominoes, instead of all flipping simultaneously. It has no effect on game play.

Show Grid

This option will display a grid on top of the playing surface. The grid is useful to display because it shows the player exactly where they are placing each tile.

TipTip:
 

This option should be enabled for beginning players to see the gameplay more clearly.

Flip Final Results

This option moves all the black tiles to the top of the board and all the white tiles to the bottom of the board at the end of the game. This allows you to visually see the outcome of the game.

NoteNote:
 

This option does not affect the outcome of the game in any way.

Tile Set

This option lets you choose the type of board and tiles which are displayed. If you want to make your own tile sets use the classic tile set as a template and change the texture and colors for different effects. When you make a new tile set that works with Iagno send it to Ian Peters and he will include it with the next distribution.

ImportantImportant:
 

There are three tile sets which look the same, but have different animations -- woodtrim, shrink, and blend.
