Clojure Powered Othello Board Game

Othello (Clojure Stylez)

This is a Clojure implementation of the incredibly awesome Othello board game. I plan on making this into a ClojureScript project, as well as maybe a desktop OpenGL version just as an excuse to play with OpenGL because...it's OpenGL.

Installation

Nothing to install yet though feel free to take a fork full and toy with the code. I will update this as much as I can.

Usage

Something like lein trampoline run should have you up and running. This assumes you have leiningen installed and all happy.

The game will start with the black player making the first move and the on it goes. The input for the turns as the game will tell you is ROW then COLUMN. So 3d, for example.

Basically nearly anything including giving it a stern look will make it crap itself, so be gentle and enjoy.

Also the moves algorithms are still kinda broken in some circumstances, so don't be surprised if things go a little wonky.

In fact there are a lot of things missing but hey, it's Othello and Clojure so it's awesome be association. \o/

Options

Initial Options I might put in a conf file of some description.

Examples

Current output for an 8x8 board, isn't it PRETTY!

Black Player's Turn!
Enter Row and Column Number (eg. 3d) or Q/q to quit:

Bugs

• No victory condition checking.
• Input handling is mediocre and there is no real reporting back to the user about what they've done.
• Lack of proper tests.
• ASCII is cool and all, but ClojureScript/Elm/SDL beckon... Future is a web game.
