Othello

Description:

Write a program that will allow two players to play Othello. The program should prompt the

player whose tum it is to select the square $($row and column$)$ on which to place their disc. The

program should determine if the player has made a legal move and prompt for a new choice if

the move is not legal. If the move is legal, the program should place the player's disc. The

program should then determine which of the opponent's discs to flip and do so$-$displaying the

results. When the game is over, the program should declare a winner and display a score.

Review the rules for Othello.

Suggestion for Adding Graphics:

Save the Othello mat file to your current MATL.AB folder $($the folder in which you will write

your game program. Try out the following commands in the command window to understand

how they work. Then incorporate them into your game program.

load Othello

& Loads Board $($Bx$6$ cell array$),$ a whitedisc, and a blackdisc

Board $\{\begin{array}{c}7\\ ?\end{array}$; Board $\{$:$\{\begin{array}{c}{}_n\end{array}]$

& Shows the initial board $(8$ rovg and $8$ coluans$)$ with the initial play set up

Note: If you dock the figure

by clicking on the arrow, it

will stay on the screen the

entire time for viewing.

The command:

figure$(\text{'}$WindowStyle$\text{'},$'docked'$)$

works also.

Digplaying Plaver moves:

Say, Black chooses Row $4$ and Column $3.$ This is a legal move.
