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.
 
Updated the app... :)

Main changes:
  1. Added basic anonymous online multiplayer functionality.
  2. Improved the AI. Now it plays more aggressively.
  3. Some tweaks to the UI.
For the next release:
  1. Private online multiplayer game rooms, to play with friends.
  2. Ability to watch ongoing multiplayer games online.
 
Another update.
  1. Added private online game rooms functionality.
  2. Added ability to watch active online multiplayer games.
  3. Added ability to customize the UI - change background, foreground, gameboard, stone and other minor things colors.
For the next step, I am planning to add Renju rules.
