Nice game, I didn't catch onto diagonal moves until too late.

I do not specifically study theory of reversi
to be interesting to conquere
but this version does not contain expert moves
and best reversi: wzebra

My own version has a better AI than Microsoft's: https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=677.0
The hereustics are still pretty basic though, just counting squares with some weights.

Ah that's where I saw this before, I remember reading Reversi is 2d version of NIM and then got distracted by something else...

nothing interferes and nobody interferes

hold competitions between both reversi
when a human enters moves as a mediator

chess between programs 1 minute

Hi Qbguy
I like it very much also if I prefer the other version that support also mouse input.
However it is smart for me!

As I am able to understand Keyboard input uses LowerCase ASCII code for letters so I can restart pressing s key (115 ASCII) and not S key (83 ASCII) so if you pardon me I can suggest to optimize the code at input time like for example at 361 linecode forcing to get lowercase version of input switching from

GS.stat = ASC(RIGHT$(INKEY$, 1))

to

Code: QB64: [Select]

   GS.stat = ASC(LCASE$(RIGHT$(INKEY$, 1)))    

Thanks to share

thanks to read

Another easy way to do this is the remember that the ONLY difference in lowercase and uppercase letters is whether or not bit 6 is set in our byte.

DO
var$ = INKEY$
IF var$ <> "" THEN
LC = ASC(var$) OR 32
UC = ASC(var$) AND NOT 32
PRINT var$
PRINT "lower case"; CHR$(LC)
PRINT "UPPER CASE"; CHR$(UC)
END IF
LOOP UNTIL var$ = CHR$(27)
