Wckediden - Mobile Tricks and Tweaks Community - Palm WebOs Othello / Reversi

Now at rev 1.0.20

The classic game of Reversi, aka Othello (tb) for the Palm Pre.

Splash screen slide show of 19th century Reversi Boards

Visible on screen Scores

Menu driven scenes for Preferences setting, Help with strategy and rule examples, and an About screen with a history of Reversi

At your choice the Pre can show where you can move and the flip count of that move.

You can choose playing white or black or watch the Pre play itself

You can set the computers smartness or stupidity.

The game is fun and beatable. (it is not an alpha-beta search routine, it's a weighted cell counter, so you CAN beat it.)
