Othello is a board game for two players.
Objective of the game is to conquer the board with your color. Players place disks on the board in turn such that they trap at least one of the opponents' disks between their own disks. Those trapped disks are turned upside down so that they change color. If the player can’t place a disk on the board, shift is transfered to the opponent. If neither player can play, game is over. Player with more disks is the winner.

The 'make' command, a C compiler, standard C libraries and headers, and OpenGL libraries and headers, including the GLU and GLUT.
On Debian and derivates, you can get all of those by issuing command 'sudo apt-get install libc6-dev freeglut3-dev'.
Type make install to install the othello into '/usr/local/bin' and
