- Program Description
- ===================
-
- Daisy Reversi is a more comprehensive electronic variant of the ancient board
- game Reversi (also known as Othello«). Daisy Reversi 2.6 allows a human
- opponent to play Reversi against the computer and has the following features:
-
- - Automatic enforcement of rule maintenance. Daisy Reversi will never allow
- you to break the rules, and will never break the rules itself.
-
- - A wide range of complexity levels. Daisy Reversi uses a greatly complex
- algorithm for finding its moves. Daisy Reversi is a worthy opponent for
- experienced players as well as beginners. Besides very difficult advanced
- levels and intermediate levels there is a zero level where computer makes
- its moves arbitrarily (according to the rules, of course), and even
- negative levels when the computer intentionally loses.
-
- - Automatic complexity level changing. You can force the Daisy Reversi to
- automatically increase/decrease level after specified number of
- winnings/losings running.
-
- - Variable size of the game field (this is an extension of classic Reversi).
- Those who like such games as solitaire and have enough time will like game
- on a large field (up to 24x24 cells). Those who like to practice logic and
- have limited time will like to play on a smaller game field (6x6 cells).
-
- - Selection of the right of the first move.
-
- - User friendly interface.
-
- - Detailed on-line help.
-
- - Three-dimensional graphics.
-
- - Variable settings, including color settings, game field schemes (like the
- Windows desktop schemes), showing/hiding and resizing different auxiliary
- panels, selecting sounds for various game events (computer move, human
- move, error, win, loss etc.), and others.
-
- - Retention of the interface and logic preferences between sessions.
-
- - Optional automatic representation of all your possible moves.
-
- - Optional cell marks.
-
- - Optional accompaniment of the game events with sounds.
-
- - Optional graphical representation of the current game score.
-
- - Statistics of your winnings and losses.
-
- - Optional keeping the history of the opponents' moves with possibility to
- save it to a file or copy to the Clipboard.
-
- - Possibility to enter moves either with the mouse or with the keyboard.
-
- - Optimization for the up-to-date 32-bit CPUs (Pentium class and higher).
