Description

Gomoku in BASIC is a Gomoku program programmed in BASIC. Gomoku is a game of five-in-a-row where players take turn placing pieces on a 19x19 grid, however to fit the screen this implementation uses a smaller grid of 10x10. The first player to manage to get five pieces in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins the game. Another change to the official rules is that rows of more than five pieces are also considered a win. The player plays against the computer.
