1.Game Overview
Though it has many names and a few flavors, this game has been a favorite for quite a while,
being one of ancient Asia's classics, together with Go, with which it shares the same board and
pieces. Its Asian names are GoMoku, RenJu or Wuziqi.
In the western world a variation of it is played, known under names like Pentix, Tic-Tac-Toe,
Five-In-Line, Pente, and many others, depending which country you are in. The rules and board
are the same but black and white pieces are replaced by 'O' and 'X', and are placed inside the
squares, not at the intersections.
The player who succeeds in having 5 adjacent pieces on any horizontal, vertical, or diagonal
line wins.
PC (Windows-based) and versions for Palm OS are available.
The program's algorithm was developed in the eighties, and the first implementation dates
back then.
This GoMoku game is a quality, highly customizable implementation. The handheld environment is
especially suitable since the user can play the game on the go and, unlike Chess or Go, a game
usually ends in a few minutes. It has 5 levels of difficulty, from very basic to 'Expert', which
can be played in 3 styles: aggressive, balanced, defensive, and can be configured for both Asian
and Western board. Play against computer or with a friend. Board size is 15 x 15, optimised for
readability. The interface is very friendly: games are saved automatically without any
intervention, 'New' and 'Undo' buttons are conveniently placed on the screen, making user's life
easy.
2.Future Enhancements
(Your suggestions are always welcomed)
A stronger 'Expert' level.
Professional rules for the Asian version.
The user will be able to play with a partner via infrared.
If you have any problems, questions and suggestions, please feel free to email me, at
palm_bit@yahoo.com, and also visit http://MihaiNastase.Homestead.com ( this site, of course! )
I am very greateful for your interest in my software.

3.Installation
First read the contract at chapter 5 on this document.
If you agree to abide by it, install the 'pgom.prc' file on your handheld.
4.Registration
This program is shareware. Your registration will make possible for me to continue working.
To encourage registration, the evaluation copy, though unlimited in time, will not accept
'Undo' and more than 3 games every 3 minutes. The registration costs $12(US) or equivalent.
*To register go to: http://www.palmgear.com and buy it using a major credit card, phone or fax.
They will instantly give you a registered code valid for at least one week. In a day or two
you will receive a permanent code from me, via e-mail. You should go to the Registration form,
tap on the dotted line where the code is asked for, and input it.
You should keep your code safe. You can e-mail at palm_bit@yahoo.com, if you need a new code.
(That is if you change your User Name). Do not forget to send your old and present
User Name, because these codes are personalised.
Registered users will get free upgrades, and 30% discount on the 'Go' game, which will soon be
available.
