Othello is a simple strategy game, and the target of a software engineering project. Mainly it was an exercise in OO software development. Started out as a command line program then evolved into a GUI. This GUI was done completely in Java SWING.

How to Play:

Hit File->New Game to start.

You’ll need two players for this version, white and black. Your goal is to dominate the board by having the most of your own color pieces. You “flip” your opponents pieces into your own each time you surround your opponents pieces either vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The game shows black squares as the squares black currently controls and white squares as the squares white currently controls. Squares in gray show the current players possible moves.

Notes:

I haven’t gotten around to creating a signed applet, so the version below doesn’t let you save a game. If you want to do it, you have to download the desktop application. Just double-click it and it should open without problems.

TODO (Hopefully coming soon):

- Develop AI
