Introduction
We will explain our project “Rasberry Pi”. We developed the Othello game on it. Othello has another name: “Riversi”. Do you know this game? I think most of you knows it, but just in case I will explain you what is Othello and its rules.

Introduction
Today we will explain our Othello game project which we developed on Rasberry Pi. Othello game has another name, “Riversi” — do you know this game? Most of you will know it, but just in case I’ll explain to you what Othello is and its rules.


Othello and its rules
There are two players that plays against each other.
Each player will put disks on a 8×8 board.
The game finishes when the board is full or both players cannot play a disk.
When the game finish, we count how many disks of his color each player has.
The player who has more disks than the other is the winner.
Each player has 32 disks that has two faces: dark and light.
At first, we set two dark and two light disks at the center of the board, like this: (show image)
When we play, we *must* sandwich the other player's disk in any direction.
The image shows the possible positions in green.
The sandwiched disks are flipped and change color.
After dark played here, this disk flipped from light to dark.
If there is no valid move, the turn is skipped.
Then, the turn switch to the next player (light).

Othello and its rules
Othello is a 2-player game, played on a 8×8 board, where each player has 32 disks — one player plays light disks and the other player dark disks. The aim of the game is to “sandwich” the other player's disk in any direction (the image shows the possible positions in green) and “sandwiched” disks are flipped over which changes their color. To start the game we set two dark and two light disks at the center of the board, like this: (show image). After dark played here, this disk flipped from light to dark. If a player can’t make a move, their turn is skipped. The game finishes when the board is full or both players cannot play a disk. At this point we count how many disks each player has and whoever has the most disks is the winner.


Why choosing Othello?
Do you remember how many LEDs are on SenseHat? It's the same number as on the Othello board. Yes! It's 8 by 8! That's how our idea started. Now, Ito will tell you how we worked together and what we did to do this project.

EDIT NOTES

Paragraph 1. Minor tweaks.

Paragraph 2. Changed the sentence order to Game outline > Game aim > Game start > Game end.

Paragraph 3. Minor tweaks and add some context.
