Reversi

Command-line version of the classic Reversi / Othello game.

It supports both the modern Othello rules and the historical Reversi rules. The rules can be changed by pressing R on the title screen. Some info on the differences can be found here and here.

Usage

Using a binary

Download the latest binary for your OS and architecture from the releases page. Simply extract and run it; no installation needed.

Windows

1. Extract the zip archive.
2. Navigate into the folder where you extracted the files.
3. Run reversi.exe.

Linux or macOS

Extract the tar.gz archive using a GUI tool or the command line, e.g.:

tar -xvzf reversi_0.1.1_linux_x86_64.tar.gz --one-top-level

Navigate into the folder where you extracted the files, e.g.:

cd reversi_0.1.1_linux_x86_64/

Run the program:

./reversi

Unidentified developer error on macOS

When running the program on macOS for the first time you may get an error saying the app can't be opened as it's from an unidentified developer. You can bypass the error as follows:

1. Locate the reversi binary in Finder.
2. Control-click the binary, then select Open from the menu.
3. Click Open in the dialog.

This only needs to be done once - in future you can open the app as normal by double-clicking on it.

For more info, please see this help page on the Apple website.

Using Snap (Linux or macOS only)

If using Linux or macOS (with Snap installed), you can install via Snap using either the desktop store or the command line:

sudo snap install ruben-reversi

Run the game using the following command:

ruben-reversi
