Reversi DS is an open source (GPL licensed) reversi game for the Nintendo DS. It features an intelligent computer opponent and an intuitive touch screen interface. It is developed to run on the Nintendo DS using 3rd party homebrew capable media or on Nintendo DS emulators. It is programmed in C++ and uses devkitPro.
The project was started by Darren Earl in the Fall of 2009.
User guide
Reversi is a classic 2 player boardgame traditionally played on an 8 by 8 cell board.
Pieces are uniform and two sided, each side being colored one of two colors.
Opposing pieces are flipped if they are trapped between the played piece and another piece of the same color already present on the board.
A player must flip pieces on his turn, otherwise it is forfeited.
The winner is the player with the most pieces of his color on the board when no moves are available.
Compatibility
Releases are tested on the DS Lite and DeSmuME.
