PROJECT NAME

Othello.vbp

ENVIRONMENT

This is a VB5 project, which will run under Windows 9x. No other than basic VB-controls are used.

YOU CAN LEARN

The code is too specific for this game, so you only can learn how to implement game rules & thinking, besides some general graphical skills…

None. I made the code myself and everybody is free to use it.
