Welcome to the Gomoku wiki!

Gomoku originated in Japan during the Heian period. The name "Gomoku" is from the Japanese language, in which it is referred to as gomokunarabe (五目並べ?)

Go means 5, moku is a word for pieces, and narabe a word for line up

So it's basically just Five-In-A-Row.

The Curses client will run on any system that has a working copy of Python will the curses library. Be aware of any serialization issues that may arise trying to communicate between different systems.
