Hello Everyone,

I am learning programming and made my first android game.

It is a classic abstract board game called Gomoku.

The AI looks quite good to me - wins more than I do.

It was very fun to make this project alive.

I am planning to improve it more.

Anyway, thank you for reading, Good Luck Everyone!

Thank you GamerXl. :)

I started this project with Unity, because I have some experience with it. But I found it a little bit uncomfortable or too big for a simple board game.

Back then I had zero experience with Android development and Java, so moved to plain Android Studio and made it.

While making Gomoku I found the layouts system of Android Studio very convenient. It was interesting to learn a new thing.

But for the bigger project I definitely would look at some of the platforms. Maybe would try something new...

Hello MrJavi, thank you for your help :), it is nice to be here.

Somehow I couldn't add the link...

I want to learn as much as possible and people opinions really help. If anyone will try the game and have a word about it, I would really appreciate the feedback.

Anyway, my long term goals with the project are:
  1. Improve the AI and learn new AI techniques.
  2. Improve the UI and learn how to make a good UI.
  3. Add multiplayer functionality with ranking system.
