As an Othello player I have used since 1988 several tools and programs for improving my game play. The most often used tools have been: Thor, Cassio and WZebra. Those programs are very interesting tools for studying Othello but they have all the same drawback: you are locked to one OS platform. The OthBase project has started beginning of November 2002 based on the following constatations: - there was no cross platform Othello database program that was available on several platforms; you needed for example to use Cassio for MacOS 9.X, or use WZebra for Windows if you wanted to study tournament level games - there was no Othello database program available on the Java platform nor Linux (sorry LZebra was not very well supported on Linux) - there was always the need to update manually the database when using Cassio or WZebra; this task should have been done automatically via the program itself Ajax and Cyrano, two good Othello programs written in Java, have shown that we can have strong and interesting Othello programs written on the Java platform As an early Java adopter (since the first JDK 1.0 beta release in 1996!) and Othello addict, I decided on November 2002 to start this project as the Java platform is now very popular and really more mature than a couple of years ago. The JFC/SWING GUI library is now at a good level and JVM performances are increasing each year. Check for example infos about HotSpot. Moreover the Java developers community is really alive and responsive. You can check at Apache Jakarta Project and at JavaDesktop. My main goals are: - to promote Othello thru the use of a database program for studying games of tournament players - to develop an Othello database program in Java that will be the same on Windows, MacOSX or Linux - to support the Thor database format and other popular game file formats (e.g. XOF, SGF, PGN, Cassio) - to implement a database feature set identical at minimum to Cassios one - to allow an easy installation and update of the program - to allow an easy update of the FFO game database available in the Thor database format - to add new cool extra features that are needed by Othello players in a responsive way - to allow developers to add some plugins into the program to add new features.
