Assignment: First project in CS 595: Game Programming.  Make an Othello game that supports Player vs. Player, Player vs. Computer, Computer vs. Computer, and local network play.

Description: The game plays like a normal Othello game.  You can choose which type of game you want to play, then click the spot on the board where you want to place the piece.

Evaluation: We were pleased with the results of the game, with only a few minor changes we would have made if we had more time.  First, there is some clashing styles of graphics between different parts of the UI (such as the buttons on the main menu, and the buttons in-game).  Second, the AI for the computer is very simple and could be improved upon from the simple AI it currently uses.
