Othello World

The game uses a top-down board view and the standard Othello rule set. Players alternate placing discs on legal squares that capture at least one opponent disc in a straight line, flipping those pieces to their color. Matches continue until neither side can move or the board is filled, with the winner decided by disc count. Input is focused on cursor movement and confirmation, making the pace deliberate and strategic rather than action-based.

Take corners whenever possible, as they are stable and cannot be flipped once secured. In the midgame, avoid greedy moves that give up corner access or reduce your future mobility too much. Edge moves should be evaluated carefully, since they can either strengthen your position or hand control to the opponent.

Tips and tricks

• Do not chase flips early; mobility and board control matter more than immediate gains.
• Watch the edge and corner structure before every move.
• In the endgame, counting legal moves can be as important as counting discs.
