It's an implementation of Gomoku server, built over TCP. Or, at least, this seems to be the goal of this project.

You can play with a very stupid AI bot through a very basic command line app. The app also keeps track of your ELO rating, but who cares enough about it?

First of all, you'll need to install the gomoku package:

sudo python setup.py install

After this, you need to start the server:

gomoku-server.py

And in any other terminal window, just run the following command:

gomoku-client-cli.py

The interface is rather uncanny, but this is something that I'm going to fix soon.

In no particular order:

• Human to human games
• Improved command line interface
• Stonger AIs
• Renju rules
• m,n,k general implementation (so you could play tic-tac-toe or connect6 depending on your humor)
• HTTP API
• Web interface
• GTK/Qt interface
• Server implementation in Clojure/Erlang/Scala
• Alternative rating systems
• Full test coverage
• Ability to save and restore games (especially with AI)
• Ability to view any game ever played

Because it seems that Gomoku isn't all that popular and writing yet another async library in Python didn't sound like fun for me. I also liked playing Gomoku when I was a child.
