/*
functions:
main >> output instructions
input P1 name, p2 name
loop{-clearscreen-
output board, compute scores
P1 or P2 turn, output scores
input placement of next piece
check coordinates and flip away}
loop ends when a)P1_score+P2_score=100
b)checker declares there are no moves left
c)Q is entered instead of proper coordinates
ask if player wants another game
checker >> determine whether coordinate input
is valid - within board, adjacent to
appropriate pieces
if input is Q: ask whether player wishes to quit
flipper >> checks horizontally, vertically and diagonally
for pieces that ought to be flipped and flips them
->might be split in three: fliph, flipv and flipd
arrays:
board[11][11] -> play area is 10X10.
row[0] and col[0]for displaying coordinates.
Pl_name[2][8] -> luxury. Player names, 7 char max.
coords[3] -> coordinates for next piece
switches:
quit -> if yes: quit, no: continue, default: ask again;
best be in a loop (for default)
play_again -> if yes: another game, no: exit program
default: ask again (also looped)

there seems to be an error for my reversi code
Um... We're willing to help, but we're not stool pigeons. You actually have to do something yourself first.
Have you attempted any of your own debugging? If so what have you tried and what have you found?
Are you getting compiler errors? What are they?
etc...
i compiled it and it works
but sometimes when i type in the coordinates the output/piece does not show.
