GOMOKU(6)

💖 GOMOKU 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Gomoku, from the Games Manual (section 6, iykyk — that's where the games live ✨). It's giving "the original program didn't ship a manpage so Debian had to step in," and honestly? iconic of them.

✨ NAME ✨

Gomoku — an extended TicTacToe game for GNUstep 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Gomoku [FIELDSIZE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk: this page is just a brief lil rundown of the Gomoku command, and it only exists because the original program does not have a manual page — so it was written for the Debian distribution instead. Periodt. 💅

Gomoku is an extended TicTacToe game for GNUstep. The vibe check: you win if you can put 5 of your pieces in a row, column, or diagonal. You lose if the computer does it before you. That's it, that's the whole drama 😭

You can play on boards of different sizes (that's what that FIELDSIZE in the synopsis is for, bestie), and the game has 6 different difficulty levels so you can go from "chill lil baby game" to "why is the computer so powerful" 🔥
