Pente, a capture variant of Gomoku, is now in alpha.
However, the name is trademarked so it might change into a neutral name if any issues occur.


Currently the implementation supports a plethora of variants and player preference options.
Default options are bolded. Training mode only options are in italic type with underline.
Most of variants can be combined.

Edit: The implementation is now finalized.

Just deployed the last update (unless bugs I missed are found).
- No overline win option is discontinued (ongoing games will use that option, but no more tables can be created with that option)
- No capture win option cannot be selected in multiplayer mode
- Capture three is now available in multiplayer mode
- Added two self-capture position rules (perform self-capture / forbidden move)
- Added 2v2 team mode (training mode only, BGA framework can't deal with team ELO properly)
- Added overtime capture
- Confirmation preference default is now set to 'No'. If you prefer confirm step please change the option from player preference panel.

If you are happy with the implementation don't forget approving!
The game needs your approvals to be officially published (and enjoy Arena mode, tournaments, rankings, and all the other features) ;)
