A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

East Asian board game simular to Tic-Tac-Toe, except on a 15x15 board. Includes offline multiplayer and a bot that is somewhat challenging.

I spent almost 50 hours on this project, the longest time spent by far. I lowkey have a skill issue, that's probably why. 

Gen AI was used for pathfinding and packaging only, nothing else. All assets, board rendering code, and bot playing code were made by me and not by AI.

Install instructions

# Windows and Linux users: Just open the app, that's it.


# MacOS Users

1. You'll need to have admin permissions to run this program.

2. Double-click the executable file, and a pop-up will pop up that says that Apple could not confirm the app isn't malware (it isn't, you can check the files). Don't delete the file yet, since it'd be slightly inconvenient.

3. To bypass this, you have to go to Settings/Privacy and Security.

4. Scroll down until you get to the thing that says that the application was blocked from running. Click allow anyway.

5. A popup will ask for conformation that you want to launch the app. Make sure to select the right option.

6. A popup will ask for admin permissions. Enter admin password or use admin touch id.

7. The app should launch in the terminal, and the game window should open.
