NAME¶
gpe-othello - Stategic one-player board game for GPE.
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
gpe-othello game.
Othello is also known as Reversi. gpe-othello is a strategic boardgame for the
GPE Palmtop Environment which involves play against a handheld computer on an
eight-by-eight square grid with pieces that have light and dark faces.
The player places light-faced pieces so that there is at least one straight
(horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) line between the new piece and another
light piece, with one or more contiguous dark pieces between them. Pieces
captured in this manner are turned over and can be used in later moves. The
winner has the most number of pieces showing the appropriate face when the
grid is full or when the other player has no pieces of their own colour left.
