Hi out there!
Can anyone of you folks who read this supply me with a good algorithm
for playing the game of Othello (also known as Reversi). I'm trying to
make my Othello program a bit smarter than it is now.
It's written in errr... ahum.... ehhhh.... BASIC (shame on me!), but if
anyone has a smart program in whatsoever language, can you please mail
it to me? I'm sure I can figure out how the program works for most
languages (BASIC is not the only language *I* know, but it indeed is the
only one that my (prehistoric) home computer knows).
At my former employer, there was an Intel ICE station on which Othello
ran, and it was STRONG!! (My score against it: about 50%). Unfortunately,
they dumped the ICE. But I'm not only in for this program, *any* help
would be appreciated.
Please EMAIL your replies to me, DO NOT POSTE THEM ON THE NET, since the
machine I'm working on does not receive comp.sources.wanted (I sure hope
that this message comes out to the net).
Send your replies to lexw@idca.tds.philips.nl <---- this one preferred!
or to ....!hp4nl!philapd!lexw
Thanks in advance.
