This is a project I did during my second semester studying computer science at UoN. The aim of the project was to:
- Develop Java skills and nice readable code
- Implement a game using the OOP paradigm
- Learn Swing GUI tool kit
The game is Reversi / Othello, the rules are very simple. Each turn a player puts down a counter of their colour. The counter must "sandwich" the opposition's counter with one of your own (this in-turn captures the pieces). The player at the end of the game with the most counters on the board wins!
The player/s are shown with two boards, one for white and one for black.
The player during their turn can click on the board to place down a piece (subject to legality).
The player can (sneakily) use the "greedy AI" button if desired which puts down a counter which captures the most pieces (sometimes not the best move).
The project is deliberately without build tools, instead you should create the jar yourself. If you're lucky enough to be on a linux machine, simply run $ cleanbuild -r.
