Smashing!

Gonna try that as we speak....
Will give you a test report soon...

Thanx

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

First impressions:

Looks great and even with a small size download!
Medium play is still a bit easy....
No sound is a bad thing...

Works fast and great on my end...
This can get only better

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

What message do you receive in normal application manager?

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Issues were not due to the app....
Something messed up due the overclock on 1 Ghz.
The app crashed on download..

Just edited the initial post!

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

I don't know where can I find sounds for this game.
And in next verison I'll change set of AI levels.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Great stuff......
Could the layout be bigger?
I would like to see the board bigger, and maybe add color backgrounds?

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

hmmmm......can we try the old school Gameboy Othelo Game sounds?

oh.....i dont know where to get that as well :(

but thanks :D the most boredom killer game for me.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

What kind of sounds do you have in mind? Just some sound effects or a background muzak?

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

hay, just thought id say, i downloaded this yesterday, have been playing peqersi, but found it to easy i could predict the AI'S next move, played qthello loads last night and am loving it, a lot better feel to peqersi (please dont think im bashing peqersi as it is a good game)
the AI is good, like the extra levels the difficulty levels are just right imho, not to fussed about sounds as normally play games liek this in silent mode, thanks for the game, good work :D

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

1. Do you want bigger layout? But it occupied all available space. Or you mean that game field should scrolling?
2. May be themes support for background and chips will nice feature.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

In currently developed version I have added animation for flipping chips. I think sound effects for this animation will be nice.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Hi Guys,

Quick question.

On the last update did the Impossible level get broken ?

It just seems that Extremely Hard is more of challenge than the Impossible ( which was a worthy opponent ).

Thanks.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Love Othello! Thanks!

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Hmm... Very strange. In all levels, except Impossible, AI may make mistake - don't select best move. In next version I'll make small changes in this logic.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Hi

Loving the animation, and testing out the Expert :)

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Hi!

Yesterday I released new version of qthello. Here is changelog:
* Added network mode support (peer-2-peer)
* Added animation of flipping chips
* Added localization support. Added Ukrainian and Russian localization
* Optifying

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Sweet.

I had not noticed the peer2peer option.

This is going to be fun.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

The new version does seem to take quite a while to start up, not timed it but seems to be about a minute or more.

It has also crashed, but I'll keep an eye on it and report what happens.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

hay, the latest update of the game it takes an age to load!! and also iv have not been able to complete a game as kit crash's after about a minute!

if you explain how i can make some sort of log file for you if possible?

cheers snake

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Good soft. Thx.

Could you add reconnect option?

Could you made this as an option? Look nice, but unnecessary for experienced players.

And also hardest level in latest version is too easy...

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

I fixed bug with slow start and crashing of qhello. I'll deploy new version tomorrow

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

AH before you do, I have worked out how I made it crash.

I was waiting for the Expert to take its turn, but I was thinking about where it was going to go and where I was going after that.

But I accidentally touched where it was going to go and it then placed its piece their, so I took my turn and straight away clicked a valid move for the Expert and it put its piece, I went again and left the Expert to take its move and after about a minute the app crashed and disappeared.

I hope this information helps.

:)

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

I just uploaded new version - 0.7.2 - with fixes of crash and slow startup.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Ok. I'll add this options to next release.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

I am a big fan of othello/reversi and have just discovered and installed qtHello. Definitely worth it!! thanks for a great game!
1 request: is it possible to add a counter showing stats such as games won, lost, drawn?
1 observation: the text on the right side of the screen encroaches on the far right column of squares and as a result, you need to 'tap, tap, tap, tap' a square a few times for it to register that you want to place a token there.
Other than that...it is a great application! thanks for the effort!

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Can we vote on this yet or have i fallen off the wagon somewhere and lost the plot?

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Hi!!
I have released new version of Qthello. In this version:
1. start new game after changing game mode (for example: human vs human => human vs comp)
2. Options for animation speed
3. Options for saving mode on exit

Enjoy :)

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

I just released version 0.8 of qthello with this support of score. You can find in in Maemo-testing repository.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

is there any way to clear the score??(i lost too many games when i started to play)

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Yes. Several days ago I have released new version 0.8.2 with commanf in menu "Reset score". It in devel-repo

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

yes i like the game including reset the score function now!! (however i am still fighting with the easy level lol)

THANKS!

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

@xvadim

What about a release in extras-testing? is it not stable enough to promote it?

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

@raily
the latest version is in extras-testing -> http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...hello/0.8.2-1/

It only needs 2 more votes for extras.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

It is already in extras :)

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

hi
i have just updated to the latest version with an undo botton added in it (makes easy to win the game now)!!

there is some problem in new version i think.i was playing qthello today human vs computer with medium difficulty(mine was black) and when the game was about to finish , it was my turn.but there was no place for me go ahead(in older version there was a massege pop saying "black can not move white's turn" in the situation) but in newer one there was no massege and the game is stoped here!! has anyone found same thing???

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Oops, I made some refactoring :). I'll fix this ASAP.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

Thanks for this great program! I had it installed for a long time and it worked well, though I eventually uninstalled it since I could easily beat it no matter the AI level.
I'm not too familiar with the way algorithms are obtained (can you find them somewhere or do you write them by yourself), so unless it's really difficult, I'd be interested in seeing a more challenging version of this :)

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

I'll try to find/write more strong AI algo. But in future. Unfortunatly, I have to few free time.

Re: [Announcement] Othello game for Maemo 5
 

I proud to announce version 1.1 of Othello!!
I have added Undo command for playing against computer (and fix stupid bug) :)
Qthelo in extra-testing now. Enjoy!
