• What's GoRenjer

  It's a Renju Board for recording, showing game.

  The futures are :

  • You can play with human by renju rule.
  • It supports problem mode.
  • It supports to save and load games to/from multiple PDB file.
  • It supports undo and redo for each moves.
  • It stops FOUR automatically.
  • It supports expert mode. It means BLACK has to offer two choice for 5th move.
  • It supports jog dial on Sony CLIE.
  • It supports High-Resolution(320x320) on Sony CLIE.

  This is a Beta version. I hope to get renju friends by using this software, so that i release it as free software.
  I provide no explicit or implied guarantee for the quality or usability of GoRenjer. I can't provide any compensation for the damage you get by using GoRenjer. It's my first Palm application, so you think it carefully and decide to use or not.
  There is normal version and high resolution version. If your palm does not support high resolution(320x320), use normal version(GoRenerj-en.prc). If your palm supports high resolution, use high resolution version(GoRenjer-HR-en.prc).If you don't know your palm supports high resolution, use normal version.

• Renju Rule

  The winner of game is the player whom the first to attain five in a row. Row means a combination of stones of the same color(diagonal, vertical, or horizontal line).BLACK has the following forbidden moves. If Black has such moves, the BLACK looses.

  Forbidden pattern:
  a) overline(6 or more stones in a row)
  b) double-four
  c) double-three
  

  But if black made five in a row with forbidden pattern, it is black win. There is no forbbidden pattern for white and win in that situation for white.
  Please visit RIF(written in english) or Nihon Renju Sha(written in japanese) to know renju rule in detail.
