The rules of the Skippity game are very simple:

It is played on a square game board of size 6-20. There are 5 pieces (Pieces can also be called 'Skippers') named A B C D E.

Each square on the game board is randomly filled with one of the 5 different pieces.

The middle 2x2 part is left empty at the beginning of the game to be able to make a move.

When it's your turn, you jump a piece on the board over another piece to an empty square, and you add the piece you jumped over to your score.

Jumps can only be made vertically and horizontally. You can only jump over an adjacent piece.

If you are not satisfied with your move, you can undo it with the 'u' key, and if you change your mind, you can redo the previous move with the 'r' key.

You have 1 undo and 1 redo right per turn.

If you can make another move from the square you jumped from, you can continue jumping. If you can't, you need to pass the turn to the other player.

If you collect one of each of the A B C D E pieces, this is called a "set". Each collected set is worth 100 points.

Each extra piece you have outside of the sets is worth 1 point, regardless of the type of piece.

The game ends automatically when there are no more moves to be made at the end of the game.

The player with the most points wins.

At the beginning of the game, you need to choose the game mode. Press '1' for two-player game, '2' to play against the computer.

You can choose between playing with wasd keys or coordinates in the next menu.

Then you will be asked to enter the size of the game board. The game board must be entered between 6-20. Otherwise, the game will not start.

You can press 's' to save the game before or after making a move, and 'l' to load any saved game.

An example board is such as:

After this stage, you need to enter coordinates to make a move.

    Player 1's turn
    Which piece to move (row / column):
    Where to place the piece (row / column):

Please enter coordinates in this format: 'x y', '1 3' . Other entries are invalid.

Examine the following example rows and columns:

         1   2   3   4   5   6  
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+
     1 | A | B |   |   |   |   |
       +---+---+---+---+---+---+

    1 1 -----> 1 3

         1   2   3   4   5   6
