Game Settings

3.1. Player Colour and Difficulty

When you start Iagno the human player plays black and the computer player plays white with the first level of difficulty. Using the Game tab in the Preferences dialogue you can set the type of player for each colour. Human is of course you, level one is the easiest computer player and level three is the hardest. You can set both to human to play against a friend or set both to computer to watch the computer play itself.

3.2. Quick Moves Option

This option is in the Settings menu. Then go to the Preferences submenu in the Game tab and it is initially off. When enabled this option makes the computer player place its tiles faster.

Note:

Enabling this option does not force the computer player to move and does not reduce the level of difficulty.

3.3. Enable/Disable Sound

The last option of the Game tab in the Preferences dialogue allows you to enable or disable all sounds when playing in Iagno.
