Othello

An Othello clone written in (what was then) Lisp DrScheme as part of a uni project. Turns out DrScheme is now DrRacket.

Requirements

Racket. Ensure it is installed with the racket/gui collection.

Running the game

Unfortunately I've not been able to get the game running properly while compiled as a standalone executable, so it requires Racket to run.

On the command line

Run in this directory:

$ racket -i -e '(require "Allting.rkt")'

This starts the game in the Racket REPL, which appears to be the only way to get the game running and detecting end-of-game conditions successfully. Note that you'll have to type

> (exit)

or press CTRL+D in the REPL to exit.

In DrRacket

Just press the green right arrow triangle (Run).
