REVERSI
-------
K MacDonald of Sheffield has sent a listing which displays the game of
Reversi. It is a game for two players, black and white playing
alternately by occupying an empty space next to one of the opposing
pieces. Every move must result in the capture of one or more of the
opposing pieces. Captures are made by trapping the oppositioin between
your own pieces. They can be trapped horizontally, vertically or
diagonally, or in any or all those directions at once. When captured,
pieces are converted to the opposition colour.

The game ends when neither player can move, or when one player has lost
all his pieces; the winner is the player with the most pieces at the end
of the game.

In this listing, moves are input by keying the co-ordinates of the
vacant square, in the form "d6". Likewise, the co-ordinates of the
pieces to be turned must then be keyed. At the end of the move, hit the
0 key. ENTER is not required for those operations. It should be possible
to devise a subroutine to turn the captured pieces automatically. Can
our readers supply one? (16K Spectrum).
