GameGrid: Game programming with Java

Game rules:

On an 8 × 8-board two players alternately put white and black stones. At the beginning of the game, two white and two black stones are placed in the middle of the board. The pieces can be placed only in empty location, which have at least one neighbouring location occupied (left, right, up, down, NOT diagonally)

not allowed	allowed	stones reversed

If a stone was placed, all the opponent's pieces, which are located in rows or diagonals between the new and already placed stones of the same color get reversed, meaning they change to the players own color. The goal is to have as many stones of your own color on the board as possible. The game is finished when all locations are occupied.
