Hi, I'm Grant Castillou. I have written three introductions to boardgameprogramming. The games are Gomoku, Checkers, and Othello. Each game fileincludes a playable program, the program's BASIC source code, and text thatexplains the source code. You may download any game file you want by clickingon the links below. The .zip files will require an unzipping utilitysuch as PKWare's Pkunzip.exe. The programs are not sophisticated and areintended as beginning introductions to boardgame programming. The Gomokuprogram is the simplest, so you might want to start there. The Checkersand Othello programs both use the minimax method, which is used by commercialprograms. The programs will only run on a Dos or Windows PC, or equivalent. Thesefiles are free, but if you like any of them I would appreciate a donation ofa few bucks. My mailing address is given in the Read1st.txt file includedwith all the files. My email address is grantcas@canada.com
