Free othello game software for linux

Othello Game is a classic strategy game, also known as Reversi. Its objective is to finish the game with the greater amount of pieces (circles) of the same color.
This version of the Othello game supports the writing of AI plugins in C++ or Python, network games, and interface themes.
Enhancements:
- pkgconfig support was added.
- It is now easier to write AI plugins.
- An installation guide, and a tutorial for writing plugins were incuded.
- It is now possible to disable Python support from the configuration.
- New icons were provided.

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::Othello is a Perl extension for modelling a game of Othello.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Othello;

my $game = Games::Othello->new();

while( !game->over ) {
printf "It is presently %ss move",
($game->whos_move eq b) ? black, white;
my @possible_moves = values $game->possible_moves();

if ( ! @possible_moves ) {
print "You have no moves available, you must pass.
$game->pass_to_opponent;
} else {
foreach ( my $move ) @possible_moves ) {
printf
"You will take %d of your opponents chips if you place your chip on %d,%d",
scalar @{ $move->{chips} }, $move->{x}, $move->{y};
}
my ($locx, $locy) = get_move();
my $flipped = $game->place_chip( $locx, $locy );
}

my $layout = $game->chip_layout();
foreach my $row ( @$layout ) {
foreach my $pos ( @$row ) {
printf %3s,
($pos eq b) ? B # Black occupied square.
: ($pos eq w) ? W # White occupied square.
: # Un-occupied square.
}
print "nn";
}
}
my ($black_score, $white_score) = $game->score;

Ultimate Othello is the ultimate Othello game. Enjoy its new, aqua-friendly graphics, full Cocoa interface (on MacOS X) and animations.

The next generation Ultimate Othello is becoming usable and somewhat more ultimate than the previous version !

It features network play with chat and multiple enhaced AIs, and is released under the Gnu Public Licence for both Linux and Mac OS X.

Transcend Game project is a retro-style, abstract, collage-building, musical, shooter game.
The graphics are geometrical, and the pace is sometimes frenzied. Two features set Transcend apart from other games.
First, its dynamic graphical engine, which can smoothly morph from one complex shape to another in realtime, produces striking displays.
Combining these dynamic shapes with subtle randomizations ensures that each new play through a level is visually different from the last.
The second novel feature is the musical power-up system.
As you play through a level, you are simultaneously assembling an abstract visual collage and arranging a unique piece of music.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bugs that caused post-explosion fade factors to become negative, which in turn caused boss explosions to linger on some platforms.
- Fixed zoom behavior when strafing.
- Added fade-in when enemies are created to avoid a visual pop-in.
- Added smooth turning when enemies switch targets.
- Changed so that pieces can be picked up while they are moving as a result of enemy fire. This makes pick up less confusing and frustrating.
- Made bullet fade-out smoothly at end of range to avoid visual pop.
- Doubled piece pick-up radius to make picking up pieces easier.
- Fixed jerky piece pick-up and drop.
- Added mini-explosion graphics to indicate when damage is being done to boss. These graphics also change color to indicate the boss health.

Quarters Board Game project is a strategy game for two players.

Although its rules are relatively simple, it still offers some of the same opportunities for skill as in chess.

This program was originally conceived in the summer of 1986 during a study of the mini-max algorithm for chess playing computers, and was thus designed to offer some of the same type of strategies.

The game was originally written in BASIC, then ported to Turbo Pascal, then to C, and finally to Java.

The Java version is not necessarily object oriented, since it is a crude port from the C version.

Chess::Game is a class to record and validate the moves of a game of chess.

SYNOPSIS

use Chess::Game;

$game = Chess::Game->new();
$clone = $game->clone();
$move = $game->make_move("e2", "e4");
$move_c = $clone->make_move("e2", "e4");
$true = ($move->get_piece() ne $move_c->get_piece());
$move = $game->delete_move();
...
while (!defined($result = $game->result())) {
# get a move
$move = $game->make_move($sq1, $sq2);
if (!defined($move)) {
print $game->get_message();
}
}
if ($result == 1) {
print "White wins!n";
}
elsif ($result == 0) {
print "Draw!n"
}
else {
print "Black wins!n";
}

The Chess module provides a framework for writing chess programs with Perl. This class forms part of that framework, providing move validation for all moves recorded using the Chess::Game class. The Game contains a Chess::Board, 32 Chess::Pieces and a Chess::Game::MoveList that contains a series of Chess::Game::MoveListEntrys that record the exact state of the game as it progresses. Moves can be taken back one-at-a-time to allow for simple movelist manipulation.
