Othello

[Dzandaa]

Hi everybody,

Here's a little game I wrote a long time ago (it was in C or C++ back then with chars printed on the screen) based on the game Othello Reversi.
I remade an adaptation in Pascal Lazarus when I started learning it in 2021.

This is also my first "IA"

Have fun.

Thanks Dzandaa! Nice work.

I've attached yet another Othello
This game I originally wrote in 2001 (in Delphi), this version is much "cleaned-up".

It is quite similar to Dzandaa's except I use single-mouse-clicks (instead of double-clicks).
I didn't look at Dzandaa's logic (for the computer's move), but I do remember mine was pretty poor.

cheers

Hi,

Hi,
@Speter:

I found a version I wrote in C++ in 2001 too
another in 2017 in C#.
I haven't found the C version which has disappeared in the mists of time.
Did you know that the game was invented in 1883, and the only computer available to humans was their brains?

Good day.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Works perfectly under Linux.

@speter

Very nice too. It is a little disturbing not to see player's move, as computer plays instantly. But the graphics are very well done.

After reading this discussion, I searched and found several other Othellos written in Pascal. This one (for Mac OS) is very impressive:

There is an attempt for a multiplatform version:

Until my "clean-up" yesterday, my program _did_ refresh after the human move, but I thought the computer's move was sufficiently fast that it wasn't needed. 

To fix this, add "refresh" after line 929, as below:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   if board[cp.x,cp.y] = valid then
2.     begin
3.       clearValid;
4.       moveto(human,cp);
5.       refresh;
6.     end;
7.  

cheers

Thank you for your answer. I had to move moveto procedure declaration to compile the program after that modification. And I still don't see (the result of) my move. Maybe what I say is not clear. Anyway I wouldn't want to bore you with that detail, and we should not highjack Dzaanda's thread.
