- GoMoku Narabe v2.0 (GOMOKU.EXE) is a Windows shareware
- version of the ancient Japanese game of 5 in-a-row. But it is more
- than just a game -- it is also an introduction to some interesting
- Japanese culture and a good 'jumping off point' to explore a fascinating
- and accessible area of Mathematics. Please peruse the Help file
- (by choosing 'Help/How to play' from the menu) after
- you have loaded and started the game to learn more about these
- three facets of Gomoku Narabe.
-
- GoMoku Narabe is written in Visual Basic 3.0. As such it
- requires that VBRUN300.DLL exists in your Windows System directory.
-
- The GoMoku Narabe files that make-up GOMOKU.ZIP include
- the following:
-
- README.TXT -- This Read Me file
-
-
- GMCLEAR.WAV -- The sound of the board being cleared
- GMCLICK0.WAV -- One of three 'stones hitting the board' sounds
- GMCLICK1.WAV -- "
- GMCLICK2.WAV -- "
- GMWIN.WAV -- The oriental gong sound that signals a win
- GMZILLA1.WAV -- 'GoZilla's' deep, evil laugh
- GMZILLA2.WAV -- 'GoZilla's' deep, evil groan
-
-
- GOMOKU.EXE -- The GoMoku Narabe executable
- GOMOKU.HLP -- The GoMoku Narabe Windows help file

-
- I have a install program that takes care of everything having
- to do with installation but for file exchanges across BBSs
- it takes up too much room -- adding almost 300K to the files.
- So . . . to install GoMoku Narabe, please do the following:
-
- 1. Check that VBRUN300.DLL is in your Windows System directory. If not,
- please download a copy and place it there (there should be a copy
- on the BBS from which you downloaded GOMOKU.ZIP; maybe as VB300.ZIP,
- VBRUN300.ZIP, or VB3DLL.ZIP, etc.).
-
- 2. Create a directory GOMOKU.
-
- 3. Copy all of the GoMoku files (they are listed above)
- to this new GOMOKU directory.
-
- 4. Create a program manager icon for GOMOKU.EXE by adding it as a file
- in your GAMES program manager group.
-
- That's it.
-
- Thanks for using GoMoku Narabe. I hope its challenging, fun, and
- educational at the same time!
