OTHELLO FOR THE SUN.
This is the board game Othello for the Sun workstation. It is played
on an 8 x 8 board, with pieces which are black on one side and white
on the other. A legal move consists of placing a piece of one's own
color on the board so as to "sandwich" a row (orthogonal or diagonal)
of pieces of the opposite color between the piece just placed and
another piece of the same color. All pieces so sandwiched are flipped
over to reveal the color of the other side.
The object of the game, is to have more pieces than the opponent at
the end of the game (ie. when the board is full or neither side has
a legal move). If you have no legal move, you simply miss a turn.
White goes first.
This version is a combination of the Sun graphics front-end from
Edward Falk of Sun Microsystems, plus the best move computer strategy
and remarks from Chris Miller. I have fixed a couple of bugs and
consolidated the whole lot. By my reckoning, it plays a very
reasonable game.
