    Default Player play incorrect move in Reversi

    I'm trying to create a player for Reversi game, but I have a little problem, after playing x moves the player (which until that played correctly) sends incorrect move at x = 0, y = 1, which is at that moment already filled, it sends this move (after different numbers of moves) in every game, for help in finding error that causes it I will be grateful

    Default Re: Player play incorrect move in Reversi

    Try debugging the code by adding calls to the println method that prints out the values of the variables that control what the program does. The print out will show you what the computer sees and help you find where the program doesn't do what you want it to do.

    If you need further help, please post the code for a small complete program that compiles, executes and shows the problem.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
