Any #reversi or #othello enthusiasts here? I was rummaging through some stuff and found a beautiful old board that my wife made for me almost 20 years ago when I was obsessed with the game. Back then, wzebra was the toughest engine.
I'm looking for an #android version of the game that's not crapware. DroidZebra is in #fdroid but it hasn't been updated since 2016 (maybe it's stable enough).
An AI player has to do two things: decide what its next move is, and evaluate how well it's doing right now. So I've split the work into a Decider and an Evaluator.
I've coded a random decider and a greedy decider, and I've been having fun testing them out. Next, I'll code different evaluation functions, and a minimax decider!
In latest #Reversi#gamedev news, my game AI is doing pretty good, but it has a mind of its own. If it can't move, it takes your moves until it can. Not sure why.
