Description: Popular othello game for Symbian Series 60 mobile phones. Othello is a two-player game. One player has the black stones, the other the white ones. The players take turns to place stones on the board, with black having the first move. Any stones that get caught between two stones of the opposite color by a newly placed stone are flipped, they change color. You may only flip at least one other piece. Otherwise you have to miss a turn.The game ends when either the board is full or neither player can make a move.The winner is the player who has the most stones on the board at the end of the game. Draws are possible.
Midlet is designed to run on J2ME MIDP 1.0 devices that support NOKIA UI API and Series 60 screen resolution.

Nice game , its working well on my sony ericsson v600i
wow its working well
i wana view the code as well
am developing this game for my college project
thank you
this program work well. it lead me to a probelm. i want to do the project using s60 emulator also but i could get the jar file of library that you were using. i try to download it from nokia. But, i just couldn’t make it work. can you help me out
oh i get it work in some level. like i can find the platform of s60 but some other thing happen
Hi Tommi,
Great job on the code.
Can you license this for GPL also and provide the source code? Or can you give a separate license to use the images only?

I should have released the code as open source. Now it seems that I have lost the code when my hard drive broke few years ago :( I’ll let you know if I happen to find the code from my backup CDs…
Hi Tommi,
The last time, I should have given more detail. The license for the sub Othello is the “postcardware” license. This means that if someone wants to use any part of sub Othello, they must use ALL of the source code. This is a burden for a cell phone program where memory is limited. I for example, only want to use the images as I have code which does something similar. Yet, this license would require me to use the Java classes which given that I have no source, would not be of use to me. ALso, I do not have the choice to omit these classes. So, if you were to use a dual license of Postcardware and GPL, Public Domain, or just the images as GPL, it would help me.
Best Regards,
Irving
Hi Tommi,
The code can be recovered from the JAR file. Are you interested in getting the code back?
(If you are not, just delete this post and pretend that it never happened)

Yes, that would be interesting to see the old code. I’m not sure if I used obfuscation when compiling the JAR file, then the code wouldn’t be that readable.
