Description

Othello is a computer implementation of the board game. It's only possible to play against another player. Players take turns placing markers on the board, markers have two colored sides. When placing a marker on the board any markers enclosed horizontally, vertically or diagonally by that marker and another of the same color are reversed and thus change color. The goal is to have the most markers of your color on the board when the board is filled up.
