Gomoku

Gomoku is a strategy board game typically played with Go pieces on a Go board. Two players take turns placing stones on a grid, aiming to align five stones in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). The board size is typically 15 x 15, but any size (above 5 obviously) is playable. This Python implementation includes an interactive board that allows players to click to place their stones.
