Othello(Reversi)

Othello or Reversi is a strategy board game for two players, played on an 8×8 uncheckered board. It was invented in 1883. Othello, a variant with a change to the board's initial setup, was patented in 1971. (read more)

This was my AP(Advance Programming) course project of my university second semester 2019 - 2020 (1398 - 1399). It is a simple implementation of the Othollo game in Java (without GUI).

Installation

Just download the file of classes, put them on a same directory(a same folder).

Usage

compile them(you must have JDK(Java Development Kit) on your system. you can download it from here) and then run the Run class.

comile step:

$ javac *.java

start the game:

$ java Run

WARNNIG: for a colorfull output in terminal, I used ANSI codes and some emojis. So you can't compile and run it on Windows OS.

Contributing
