The waking of a sleeping beauty

I wrote a board game called AdaOthello way back in 2001 using Ada (of course) and GtkAda. AdaOthello is quite a beautiful piece of GUI that I had created for the first time using GtkAda on Linux. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to improve the game engine and port it to Mac OS X. It became a sleeping beauty!

On August 27, Gustaf Thorslund contacted me about his wish to use my code and continue the development of AdaOthello. Today, I received another email from Gustaf informing me that he has revived the project.

First, I would like to express my gratitude to Gustaf to take my code, make a second home for it, and taking it to a new height. I originally released AdaOthello under GPL 2.0 or later and I continue to wish to keep it that way.

You can find AdaOthello at its second home here.
