A small implementation of Othello for the Game Boy Advance.

This was a submission for the 4K GBA competition.

User guide

The goal of the game is to have more of your pieces on the board than your opponent at the end of the game.

During your turn, you must capture an opponents piece by placing one of your own pieces on an unoccupied space that causes any number of your opponents pieces to be sandwiched between any of your pieces and the piece you played.

All of your opponents pieces sandwiched like this are changed to your color. Here is an example move:

 abcdefgh                          abcdefgh
1........                         1........
2........                         2........
3BW.B....                         3BW.B.... 
4.WBWB... -> Black plays at d6 -> 4.BBBB...
5..WWW...                         5..BBW...
6........                         6...B....
7........                         7........
8........                         8........

If you cannot capture any of your opponents pieces you forfit your turn.

The game ends when all spaces are occupied, one player captures all of his opponents pieces, or neither player can play.

Note: The AI may take some to play.
