This app, Caro-Gomoku-Renju-FiveinarowgamewithstrongAI, offers a robust platform for playing four popular variations of the five-in-a-row game:
-
GOMOKU Freestyle: Victory is achieved by creating an unbroken line of five or more stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
-
CARO (Blocked Rule - Gomoku+): To win, a player must form an unbroken line of five stones that isn't blocked on both ends. Lines like XOOOOOX and OXXXXXO are not winning lines.
-
GOMOKU Standard: Similar to Freestyle, but overlines (lines of six or more stones) do not constitute a win.
-
RENJU: Addressing the inherent advantage of the first player (Black/X), Renju incorporates additional rules to level the playing field. Black is prohibited from making moves that create:
- Double Three: Two separate lines of three unbroken black stones.
- Double Four: Two separate lines of four unbroken black stones.
- Overlines: Lines of six or more black stones.
The app features an exceptionally intelligent AI opponent, allowing you to select difficulty levels ranging from easy to extremely challenging. Alternatively, you can play against a friend. Additional features include zoom functionality, support for two-player mode and AI play, the ability to view the last move and threat lines, and unlimited undo functionality.
