Several times in reversi it would not let me play in a legitimate spot. Other times I played and it didn’t correctly flip all the pieces. Something wrong in the algorithm. It seems to only affect black…wtf! I just lost a game where I had all four corners!
lol
also, how do you close a reversi game?
Seems it affected both players, not just black. Edges were not being reached, so if you had a piece at the edge it would never find your piece and not change the row/column/diagonal.
I also changed it to not check unless you are at least placing two away from the edge you are checking towards. Not very important, probably, but slightly more optimized.
Patch:
Removed.
Please, attach your patch as a file (*.patch).
ok, let me test this a bit more, I just found a bug on one of the diagonals.
Yep! Thanks!
applied
Another edge case screwed up. Hopefully this is the last one…heh I changed another line, as well, for clarity, but it has no effect.
