Pentago is a board game of skill. The winner is the first player with 5 marbles in a row. Here is a description of pentago on wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentago I started making a program that plays pentago but finishing it seems to be beyond my ability. It is not likely that I will do anything more on this project. Mostly because of lack of ability. Partly because of lack of interest. (It's only a game) So if anyone wants to take over this project, you may. http://www3.telus.net/~jtstory/programs-unfinished/pentago.zip Among the improvements it needs to be really good are: 1. It needs to think faster so it can search deeper and play better. (This would involve a major change in the program, using bits.) 2. Marbles would look better than Xs and Os. After you do a professional quality job on it, you might want to post it on freshmeat. http://freshmeat.net/browse/263/ BTW, whoever takes over the pentago project, if you want it to work on Ubuntu and Debian, you will have to get wxEuphoria v0.10 happening or else use wxEuphoria v0.9 with 2 lines commented out in wxEuphoria.e and you will have to explain that stuff to downloaders.
