Reversi
Documentation:
Reversi (also known as Othello) is a version of this well known game for the
amiga computer. The board consists of 64 fields, where the four in the
middle are occupied by two blue and two yellow stones.
The players now put a stone on a free field (by clicking on it)
alternately, in a way that one or more rows (horizontal, vertical,
diagonal) of the opponents stones are enclosed at the endpoints by two
stones of the own color. The enclosed stones are turned to the own color
then. If a player cannot enclose at least on stone he must not move, until
he can enclose some again.
The game ends when all fields are covered, or none of the players can move.
The winner is the player who has the most stones at the end.
With this program supports three varietys: human vs. human, human vs.
amiga and amiga vs. amiga.
The special feature of this program is, that the computer ssems to think,
that means, he tries to find the best move.
After starting the program, a titlescreen appears, and after you've clicked
the mousebutton, the playfield appears. On the left side there are several
displays and gadgets:

has.
Below you can see, who has the yellow, and who the blue stones, and also
