I know this game as Reversi, it's something I have often enjoyed playing. Glad my usual tactic of working my way into the corners worked well, won with 40 pieces. Great job implementing this game. AI like this is no trivial task.
A pretty neat implementation of Renegade/Reversi/Turncoat/Othello™ Not a game I play often, so it took a couple games to get my brain in gear. However I was able to defeat the unnamed robot!
Notes: Showing where pieces can be placed is a neat touch that humans will appreciate! Othello for the GameBoy released in 1990 and did not offer such hints A traditionalist might want to turn off those hints, and may prefer a board which is a plain grid (although I prefer the way you've done it)
Your feedback is so kind thank you! I have been wondering what the traditional names are so thank you for that I'll have to do some research! I will definitely be updating this soon, I'll add an option to turn it off (in hindsight I prefer that, especially for multiplayer with a friend now I'm thinking about it, half the fun might come from them not spotting a move.) I made the grid that way from my days with chess it just felt right so thank you :)
Unfortunately I don't have a Linux device to test that myself but I don't see why that would be an issue, I'll take a look at it and try uploading a build with a seperate a button and hope that works. Thanks for trying it out!
Ok just added 'P' to hopefully replace enter, if it doesnt work please let me know when/if you can, Thanks. While i'm here I absolutely love your games look and music Ill have to dive into it more when it comes to ratings. Thanks.

Really great work here, impressive!
Thanks! Hopefully I have some steam left to get your jam done as well :)
this looks really good, but enter doesn’t work as button A. I can move, but cannot select anything.
