                                  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:

The  displays  tell  you  whose turn it is, and how many stones each player
has.

Below  you  can  see, who has the yellow, and who the blue stones, and also
the playing strength of the amiga is shown there.  (the more computerfaces,
the better he plays)

Below that, there are six gadgets:


Force Move      Makes the computer move immediately.

Pause ( [||] )  Toggles the pause modus.

All other gadgets can only be used in the pause modus:


left arrow      undo moves.

right arrow     redo moves, that where taken back with left arrow.

New             start a new game.

Quit            quit reversi.


In pause mode, you can also select the player and the computer strength for
the  two colors.  For that, you click above ore below the small faces.  The
human  face means a human player, the computerfaces mean the computer.  The
more computer faces you select, the better he plays.


Have fun! -Rob-
