FiveStones is a Macintosh implementation of Go-Moku, the classic Asian board game also known as Connect-Five, written by Xin Xu. The program plays against a human opponent at a range of selectable difficulty levels and is distributed as $10 shareware, with free upgrades for owners of earlier versions.
Go-Moku on the Mac
The objective in Go-Moku is to be the first player to align five stones in a row, column, or diagonal on a grid. FiveStones provides the board, the rules engine, and an AI opponent tunable across several difficulty levels.
Fat binary in version 2.4
Version 2.4 is a fat binary, meaning it runs in native code on both PowerMac and 68k Macintoshes. The author specifically asked Info-Mac maintainers to replace the older 2.32 archive and to mirror the new build into the PowerMac category.
Shareware terms
FiveStones is $10 shareware. Registered users of any previous version receive the 2.4 update at no extra charge.
Author
The program was written and maintained by Xin Xu, who handled both releases and Info-Mac submissions.
