#Jomoku - A simple Gomoku game written in Java
Gomoku is an abstract strategy board game. Also called Gobang or Five in a Row, it is traditionally played with Go pieces (black and white stones) on a go board (19x19 intersections)[attribution needed]; however, because once placed, pieces are not moved or removed from the board, gomoku may also be played as a paper and pencil game. This game is known in several countries under different names. Black plays first, and players alternate in placing a stone of their color on an empty intersection. The winner is the first player to get an unbroken row of five stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

The programm itself has no dependencies - but isn't built for speed, so it can be a bit slow on old hardware - it's built for fun...
#Usage
Just execute the JAR file on the console (for more informations and options use the argument -help).
Then the player being the black player or the player being the white player is prompted to type in the position he or she want's to place a stone on. The format of this input is "[column number]x[row number"].
The board being played on is also printed on the console after every player action.
