Gomoku
Gomoku, also called Gobang or Five in a Row, is an abstract strategy board game. It is traditionally played with Go pieces (black and white stones) on a Go board, using 15×15 of the 19×19 grid intersections.
I did a frontend realization of a 15*15 game board for gomoku. Also, I designed an AI player to play with me.
I set the background color to be the same as wood, the I draw lines in both horizontal and vertical directions. The intersections of the lines are points where we can place the Go pieces.
The user can click at any point that has a distance within 5 from the intersection. So even if the user didn't click right on the intersection, the user can still draw a piece that at point. The program will automatically generate a piece at which is the closest to where the user clicks.
The first thing I did is to set up a function that giving a rating to the current turn. For instance, if one has three pieces in a row, one can have a 500 points for that turn. The higher the points, the more likely for that plater to achieve a five in a row.
So for my AI, I simulated how the opponent will move, and suppose that the opponent will place his/her piece at the point that will create the highest points for that turn. Then, I place my piece at that position to prevent the opponent from achieving that situation. Hence, my AI is able to block most of the moves of the opponent's.

I need to write equations with it.

I use this to play the sound when a player moves.
