    Reversi / Othello

    Hey people!

    I am kind of new to C programming language. I take classes on my university, and I have to write a very simple version of a reversi/othello-like game, until this friday. I'm having some trouble to write the code, so I was wondering if any of you could provide me with a source code (written in C) of a reversi/othello game. I really don't need a smart computer player, or any kind of strategies, I just need the basic stuff

    If anyone could help me, please contact me on my e-mail ([email protected]) or on ICQ (10310351)

    THANKS A LOT!

    I have an Othello game written in LISP. Will that do?

    LISP? I once had to make Othello (or was it tic-tac-toe?) in Prolog (or was it Miranda?). But that was a long time ago...

    Sorry dericosp but I'm not going to make Othello for you. Write your own program and post your code if you have any problems.

    LISP is basically linked lists, recursion and parantheses. An ugly language IMHO .

    Sample:
    Code:
    (defun MyFirstProgram()
      (format t "Hello world!"))

    so I guess LISP is no good for me ....

    but thanks for helping.


    And Monster, the fact is that I have a really short time to do it (until Friday), and C Programming is one of the subjects in my university, so it matters on my grades...... and I'm pretty confused how to write the reversi code...... that's why I asked you to help me...

    besides, I'm pretty sure that a simple reversi-like game wouldn't take more than 5 minutes from you people, that already knows all the basics and also the advanced parts of the language C..

    Othello took about a month for me, but that included the AI also.
