This app, Caro-Gomoku-Renju-FiveinarowgamewithstrongAI, offers four popular game variations:
- GOMOKU Freestyle: The first player to create an unbroken line of five or more stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins.
- CARO (Blocked Rule - Gomoku+): Victory requires an unbroken line of five stones, but lines blocked on both ends (e.g., XOOOOOX or OXXXXXO) don't count. This rule is particularly popular in Vietnam.
- GOMOKU Standard: Similar to Freestyle, but lines of six or more stones don't automatically win the game.
- RENJU: To balance the inherent advantage of the first player (Black), Renju incorporates additional rules that restrict Black's moves. These rules prohibit creating:
- Double Three: Two separate lines of three unbroken black stones.
- Double Four: Two separate lines of four unbroken black stones.
- Overline: A line of six or more consecutive black stones.
The app features a powerful AI opponent with adjustable difficulty levels, ranging from easy to extremely difficult. You can also play against a friend. Additional features include zoom functionality, support for two-player mode and AI play, display of the last move and threat lines, and unlimited undo capability.
