KGomoku

Hi,

I had a task at the university - writing an AI for the well
known game
"connect five" or Gomoku. It has won the local
contest at the end of the 
year. I have written a basic little Qt4 front-end for the AI
in 
KDevelop, to be able to play against the computer.

Are you interested in a KGomoku game to be included in
kde-games? I can 
send a current state of work if you wish.

Bye,
   Gabor

I think we already have a gomoku game. It's called bovo:

You could have a look at bovo,

it's a gomoku game for kde4.

I'm really interested in your AI. How well does it play?

I downloaded bovo from svn, but could not compile it,
because cmake 
says: Unknown CMake command "kde4_automoc". I'm
new to kde4 and cmake, 
sure I missed something.

But I looked at the screenshots and the source, and bono is
a very 
promising game to be my favourite (I love gomoku). My AI is
fairly 
strong, far better than myself. It implements alpha-beta
pruning, 
hashing, and strong heuristics to evaluate a position and to
suggest 
good next possible moves for the search. You can integrate
this AI into 
bono if you wish.

Because this AI was written to battle on a network against
others, it 
lacks support of playing with both players (demo mode),
board size is 
hardcoded, and no support for taking back a move. I plan to
add these. 
The source also needs some more comments.

you need to build it as part of kdegames. as i don't know
how experienced you 
are with svn, i write all instructions in detaildown here:

$ svn co -N
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdegames kdegames
$ cd kdegames
$ svn up bovo

svn co will download only files but no subdirs when called
with the -N option.
now build the kdegames dir::

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

this way everything should work.

cheers, Josel

I have hacked the AI into bovo, so you would be able to see
what we are 
talking about. Just replace the contents of the ai folder
with the 
attachment, it should work.

Bovo was never meant to be the name, it was a stupid work
name, but
then people insisted on keeping it. Personally I wanted to
rename it
to "GomoKu" or "Gomoku for KDE".

It's not about bovo and that's not my opinion but there
seems to be a tendency
 in KDE core developers (at least those that communicate by
blogs or MLs) to
 dislike the k-names. I saw more than once people advising
to avoid k-names
 for new internal APIs or apps.
 Am I right ?
