30 ;; Gomoku is a game played between two players on a rectangular board. Each
31 ;; player, in turn, marks a free square of its choice. The winner is the first
32 ;; one to mark five contiguous squares in any direction (horizontally,
33 ;; vertically or diagonally).
35 ;; I have been told that, in "The TRUE Gomoku", some restrictions are made
36 ;; about the squares where one may play, or else there is a known forced win
37 ;; for the first player. This program has no such restriction, but it does not
38 ;; know about the forced win, nor do I.
39 ;; See http://renju.nu/r1rulhis.htm for more information.
42 ;; There are two main places where you may want to customize the program: key
43 ;; bindings and board display. These features are commented in the code. Go
49 ;; The command "M-x gomoku" displays a
50 ;; board, the size of which depends on the size of the current window. The
51 ;; size of the board is easily modified by giving numeric arguments to the
52 ;; gomoku command and/or by customizing the displaying parameters.
54 ;; Emacs plays when it is its turn. When it is your turn, just put the cursor
55 ;; on the square where you want to play and hit RET, or X, or whatever key you
56 ;; bind to the command gomoku-human-plays. When it is your turn, Emacs is
57 ;; idle: you may switch buffers, read your mail, ... Just come back to the
58 ;; *Gomoku* buffer and resume play.
63 ;; The algorithm is briefly described in section "THE SCORE TABLE". Some
64 ;; parameters may be modified if you want to change the style exhibited by the
70 "Gomoku game between you and Emacs."

272 ;; internested 5-tuples of contiguous squares (called qtuples).
274 ;; The aim of the program is to fill one qtuple with its O's while preventing
275 ;; you from filling another one with your X's. To that effect, it computes a
276 ;; score for every qtuple, with better qtuples having better scores. Of
277 ;; course, the score of a qtuple (taken in isolation) is just determined by
278 ;; its contents as a set, i.e. not considering the order of its elements. The
279 ;; highest score is given to the "OOOO" qtuples because playing in such a
280 ;; qtuple is winning the game. Just after this comes the "XXXX" qtuple because
281 ;; not playing in it is just losing the game, and so on. Note that a
282 ;; "polluted" qtuple, i.e. one containing at least one X and at least one O,
283 ;; has score zero because there is no more any point in playing in it, from
284 ;; both an attacking and a defending point of view.
286 ;; Given the score of every qtuple, the score of a given free square on the
287 ;; board is just the sum of the scores of all the qtuples to which it belongs,
288 ;; because playing in that square is playing in all its containing qtuples at
289 ;; once. And it is that function which takes into account the internesting of
292 ;; This algorithm is rather simple but anyway it gives a not so dumb level of
293 ;; play. It easily extends to "n-dimensional Gomoku", where a win should not
294 ;; be obtained with as few as 5 contiguous marks: 6 or 7 (depending on n !)
295 ;; should be preferred.
298 ;; Here are the scores of the nine "non-polluted" configurations. Tuning
