Download Gomoku programs included source code
- PentaZen is a strong gomoku/renju playing engine supporting Gomocup protocol written by Yuliang Sun. The latest release supports some of Yixin protocol. (Recommended)
- Wine is a gomoku game (Five in a Row) playing program with a strong artificial intelligence algorithm written by Jinjie Wang. Documented in author's native language (Chinese). (Recommended)
- SlowRenju is a Gomoku/Renju engine supporting the new protocol of Gomocup written by Tianyi Hao. (Recommended)
- Carbon Gomoku is an open-source Gomoku program written by Michał Czardybon. There is a strong artificial intelligence algorithm (evaluation function, mini-max with cut offs, alpha-beta, transposition table, situation signatures, candidate generating). Documented in the author's native language (Polish). The AI algorithm was one of the strongest as for 2002 and it's reasonable even now. (Recommended)
- Chis - A gomoku engine for Gomocup made by Peiming Zheng. C++ source code under Mozilla Public License can be downloaded from Github. (Recommended)
- Pela - A gomoku engine for Gomocup made by Petr Laštovička. C++ source code of Pela under GNU General Public License can be downloaded, together with Piskvork. (Recommended)
- XL engine (alias Niren) is a renju program, originally designed by Chengtao Chen. It can only play renju on 15x15 board. It is released under the conditions of the GNU General Public License. (Recommended)
- Piskvorky s vitezem (340 KB) Play against the Microsoft gomoku tournament winner in 2003. It is the older version of Pela which was converted from C++ to C#.
- Stahlfaust Gomoku is an AI player for the standard Gomoku game. It uses alpha-beta search, threat tree dbsearch, and defensive search. However, it's not very fast. The game was developed as a term project for the Artificial Intelligence course of Professor Zhang Liqing at the Shanghai Jiaotong University by Marco Kunze and Sebastian Nowozin. It is released under the conditions of the GNU General Public License.
