Othello-Reversi

Othello Reversi is a java based game build with graphics for our Artificial Intelligence course at AUEB. Othello is a two-player game, and here the player plays against the AI, which is implemented with the Minimax algorithm using a-b pruning. Our report for this project can be found in greek and in english.
