Question Can someone port Reversi/Othello/Goro ?

Greetings from a brand-new iLiad owner! I bought mine a week ago, absolutely loving it! Already installed mrxvt and XBoard (thanks yokos!). More installs are on the way.

I'm wondering if someone is currently porting or might be interested in porting Reversi (aka Othello) game to iLiad. IMHO, it's a perfect game for iLiad - black-and-white, low screen refresh, etc. Plus it's one of those "easy to play, hard to master" games.

Simple Google search revealed at least a couple of *nix based open-source clones. So, any takers?

It's cool you like XBoard. The saving of all played games in a pgn file is very useful.

Mmmh, I played a java version of Othello on my mobile phone several times.

Porting of a othello game:
# othello [with game programming library Allegro]: is running. Warning: a beta version of this is attached.
# gothello [GTK 1.x]: get "segmentation fault" when running. Oh no!
# Atilo [GTK 2.x]: haven't checked the svn server out I think this will be the best clone of othello for iLiad.
[EDIT 03/05/2008] I compiled atilo, but w/o fluxbox I get a segmentation fault.

Press the Menu Button for refreshing of screen.
You can't exit the program the normal way!
Therefore please use the Esc key on a USB Keyboard to get the game's menu, then you can quit the program.


The USB Keyboard server you can find here:

There's also a version based on the FBReader library.

http://www.fbreader.org/zlibrary/vbataxx/

I'll look into how much work it'll be to port that. It should be small, maybe it'll be a bonus with the FBReader package.

With default windowmanager machtbox atilo doesn't start:
Code:
(atilo:614): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_string_height: assertion `font != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault
After starting fluxbox atilo runs w/o any problems. This is odd.

Either (atilo or vbataxx) would be an awesome addition to iLiad software library. I hate to ask but is there any progress update here guys? I finally got my iLiad back from repair (bad display) so I can test/try/research... Just let me know.

Atilo [not posted here yet] is running, but it doesn't start with iLiad's default window mananger matchbox, only with ported wm fluxbox. This is very odd. I have no solution.
[EDIT]: Oh, I have written earlier already that atilo doesn't start with matchbox. I just anwsered the last post w/o checking the thread.
[EDIT II]: Maybe I should add screen rerefreshes into atilo src & post with a big warning.
