UGomoku is a version of the classic 5-in-a-line game. Each player takes turns to place pieces on a 19x19 "go" board, with the first player to get a line of 5 wins. https://github.com/orac81/miniapples/raw/refs/heads/main/ugomoku/ugomoku-latest.zip It was originally written for the PET in 1981, and a version appeared on Commodore Disk User, Nov 1990. Commands: g : computer move a : auto play e : edit square x : exit to move, use cursor (or keys jkol) then enter. Despite being written in Basic, it performs fairly well when compiled, and seems a bit stronger/faster than other simple GOMOKU basic programs of this type. This program is an example for the UBL Universal Basic Library. ugomoku10-c64.prg Compiled C64 verison. ugomoku10-p4.prg Compiled Plus4 verison. ugomoku10-v20.prg Compiled Vic20 verison. ugomoku10-bas.prg CBM Source code, will run on all CBM (load ,8) GOMOK10Q.EXE Compiled QuickBasic 4.5 MSDOS version. Note the basic version should be loaded with ",8" not ",8,1". The UBL folder has the Universal Basic Library with full source for versions for different computers, and further documentation on UBL. By using the right UBL library this program should run on: Commodore 8bits (C64, C16, VIC20, PET), DOS QBasic/BasicA, Apple2, Dragon32, BBC, ZX-Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX, TRS80, Exidy Sorcerer and Ohio Superboard. (but tweaks may be needed!)
