GoMoku

A classic japanese board game. Very popular here in Sweden too; called "luffarschack" (roughly translates to "poor man's chess") and is often played with pencil and paper. See Wikipedia's entry on GoMoku for more information.

I did this merely as an exercise in AI programming; the AI should be good enough to beat most beginners and give average players a hard time.

Written in Delphi 7. Uses Graphics32 for fast flicker-free rendering.
