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:
