- 6. VIP REVERSI
- Reversi is a game over 100 years old, which has become popular recently under the
- name Othello. The game is played on a 8x8 square, using two kinds of markers.
- In VIP Reversi one player has the open markers and the other player the solid
- markers. The score for either player at any time is the total number of his markers
- on the square.
- How to play VIP Reversi
- 1. Load the CHIP-8 interpretor at 0000-01FF
- and the game starting at 0200.
- 2. Turn RUN switch on.
- 3. The 8x8 square will be formed and the starting marker configuration shown, having
- two of each kind of marker in the center four locations of the square. The starting
- score for each player is shown as 02 above a line of his markers.
- 4. Your VIP indicates the player's turn by blinking that player's score and also blinking
- a cursor dot in the 8x8 square. A player moves the blinking cursor dot in the 8x8
- square by pressing the direction keys 1-4 and 6-9 as shown. (VIPG1-6.JPG)
- 5. When the cursor-dot is properly located, the player presses key 5 to place his marker
- on the square. You will find that your VIP will not allow you to make a non-valid
- play. The only placements allowed are onces for which at least one of the other
- player's markers is surrounded between an existing marker of your own and your new
- marker being placed. All these markers must be in consecutive positions on the
- square and can be in any horizontal, vertical or diagonal direction. Once a new
- marker has been placed, your VIP will change all such surrounded markers of the
- other player to your kind and change the scores.
- 6. Sometimes it may not be possible for a player to make a valid move. If this happens
- he must forfeit his move by pressing the "F" key! The game ends when neither player
- can play or when the 8x8 square is completely filled with markers. The goal is to
- end the game with the highest score. Do not be discouraged if during the game you
- seem to be losing because this is a game with dramatic reversals! Develop a winning
- strategem and become a champion!!
