Free games othello software for linux

Gothello project is a GTK-based Othello game.

Its for one or two players.

You can use it to play against other people or against the computer, or you can play the computer against itself. The AI is implemented using Negamax search with Alpha-Beta pruning, with Iterative Deepening.

It has both fixed-depth and fixed-time search modes.

JSothello is a Javascript/DHTML implementation of the board game "Othello", also called "Reversi". Runs in the browser with four challenging computer intelligence levels. Play human versus computer, human versus human or computer versus computer.
JSothello is a Javascript/DHTML implementation of the board game "Othello", also called "Reversi".
Othello is very easy to play. The board is a square grid of any size. The two players pieces are black or white. Each player must place a piece on the board adjacent to one of his opponents pieces so that another of his own pieces is on the other side of his opponents piece(s). In other words, the opponents piece(s) should be "sandwiched" between the players pieces. When that occurs, all such "sandwiched" pieces are changed to the players color.
The game ends when one player cannot make a legal move. The winner is the player with the most pieces on the board.
This version allows the user to play the computer, another human or watch the computer play itself. The computer players have four levels of "intelligence", each with different styles of play:
- "Only took a minute to learn": The computer chooses random (legal) moves.
- "Laughable": The computer picks (one of) the move(s) that will flip the most pieces.
- "Respectable": Plays like "Laughable" but tries to grab the edges and the corners whenever possible while keeping its opponent from being able to grab the edges and corners.
- "Took a lifetime to master": Plays like "Respectable" but adjusts its edge/corner bias as the board fills up, favors moves that flip pieces in more than one direction, tries to prevent moves that will allow the opponent to immediately reverse its gain and places pieces closer to the corners when possible.

Games:Roshambo 1.01 is a brilliant module which manages a game of Rock/Paper/Scissors, aka Roshambo

Major Features:

1. You can specify an optional hashref containing configuration items.
2. Valid configuration items are: numthrows
3. The number of separate valid throws for a game, for example, in Rock, Paper, Scissors, there are 3 throws, while in a spirited game of RPS-101, there are 101 valid throws. If not specified, this defaults to 3.
4. sortable
5. OPTIONAL: Behold the madness of Chris Prather. Passing a TRUE value to new for this item will cause the judge method to return values of -1 if Player 1 wins, 0 for a tie and 1 for Player 2, instead of the 0, 1 and 2 it does normally.
6. The entirely dubious benefit of this is that the function can be used in conjunction with sort. It's his fault. He asked for it. Any questions as to the relative usefulness of this should be directed at him. The management disavows all knowledge.
7. This method will judge a game of RPS, returning a 1 for Player 1 winning, a 2 for Player 2, and a 0 for a tie.
8. It takes up to two arguments, indicating the throws for Player 1 and Player 2, as text representations.
9. If one or both arguments are omitted, the method will internally call $self->gen_throw to randomly generate one.
10. getaction
11. When called with two throws, this will return the text of the action for this combination. For example, if called as $rps-getaction("rock", "paper")> the returned value will be "covers".
12. This module contains actions for three throw (Rock, Paper, Scissors) and 101 throw games, in any other number of throws, this method will return undef.

Requirements: Perl

Games::Score is a Perl module to keep track of score in games .

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Score;

# these three values are the default ones, by the way
Games::Score->default_score(0);
Games::Score->default_step(1);
Games::Score->step_method(inc);

# start two players
my $player1 = Games::Score->new();
my $player2 = Games::Score->new();

# set a winning condition
Games::Score->victory_is( sub { $_[0] >= 20 } );

# and something to do if it is achieved
Games::Score->on_victory_do( sub { print "Won!" } );

# give points to the players
$player1->add(2);
$player2->step();

# look at section FUNCTIONS for more functionalities, such as
Games::Score->invalidate_if( sub { $_[0] > 20 } );

Games::Score can be use to keep track of several players points in a game, regardless of the starting amount of points, winning and/or losing conditions, etc.
It provides several useful methods so that the user doesnt have to keep testing values to see if theyre valid or if the player condition has changed.

Games::Chess Perl module represent chess positions and games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Chess qw(:constants);
my $p = Games::Chess::Position->new;
$p->at(0,0,BLACK,ROOK);
$p->at(7,7,WHITE,ROOK);
print $p->to_text;

The Games::Chess package provides the class Games::Chess::Piece to represent chess pieces, and the class Games::Chess::Position to represent a position in a chess game. Objects can be instantiated from data in standard formats and exported to these formats.

NOTATION

See Games::Chess::PGN for full details of the notations.

SAN

Standard Algebraic Notation. The modern international notation for chess games. For example,

1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5

FEN

Forsythe-Edwards Notation. A compact representation for chess positions. FEN specifies the piece placement, the active color, the castling availability, the en passant target square, the halfmove clock, and the fullmove number as six fields separated by spaces. For example, the opening position is described in FEN as follows:

rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

PGN

Portable Game Notation. A notation for chess games, including the moves, commentary, variations, and metadata such as the players, the event, the round number, and the date of the match. For example,

[Event "F/S Return Match"]
[Site "Belgrade, Serbia JUG"]
[Date "1992.11.04"]
[Round "29"]
[White "Fischer, Robert J."]
[Black "Spassky, Boris V."]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1
b5 7. Bb3 d6 8. c3 O-O 9. h3 Nb8 10. d4 Nbd7 11. c4 c6
12. cxb5 axb5 13. Nc3 Bb7 14. Bg5 b4 15. Nb1 h6 16. Bh4 c5

25. Nxf7 Rxe1+ 26. Qxe1 Kxf7 27. Qe3 Qg5 28. Qxg5 hxg5
29. b3 Ke6 30. a3 Kd6 31. axb4 cxb4 32. Ra5 Nd5 33. f3 Bc8
34. Kf2 Bf5 35. Ra7 g6 36. Ra6+ Kc5 37. Ke1 Nf4 38. g3 Nxh3
39. Kd2 Kb5 40. Rd6 Kc5 41. Ra6 Nf2 42. g4 Bd3 43. Re6
1/2-1/2

EPD

Extended Position Description. An extensible notation based on FEN. Intended for data interchange between chess-playing programs and for the construction of opening databases. Not used by Games::Chess.

Java Games project is a collection of simple games that are compiled into Java applets and meant to be played online in a Web browser.

Currently the collection contains four games: XO World (similar to tic-tac-toe, but with lines of 5 on a 10x10 board); 100 Mack (guess the random combination of 4 images out of a set of six); Memory (flip 2 plates at a time to find matching pairs); and Tetris.

Games::OpenGL::Font::2D module can load/render 2D colored bitmap fonts via OpenGL.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::OpenGL::Font::2D;

my $font = Games::OpenGL::Font::2D->new(
file => font.bmp );

use SDL::App::FPS;

my $app = SDL::App::FPS->new( ... );

# dont forget to change these on resize events!
$font->screen_width( $app->width() );
$font->screen_height( $app->width() );

$font->pre_output(); # setup rendering for font

$font->color( [ 0,1,0] ); # yellow as array ref
$font->color( 1,0,0 ); # or red
$font->alpha( 0.8 ); # nearly opaque

# half-transparent, red
$font->output (100,100, Hello OpenGL!, [ 1,0,0], 0.5 );
# using the $fonts color and alpha
$font->output (100,200, Hello OpenGL! );

$font->transparent( 1 ); # render font background transparent

$font->spacing_y( 16 ); # render vertical (costly rebuild!)
$font->spacing_x( 0 ); # (costly rebuild!)
$font->output (100,200, Hello OpenGL! );

$font->post_output(); # if wanted, you can reset OpenGL
