Someone mentioned zillions plays pente poorly. But where is Pente for zillions? |

I implemented a nice Zillions rules file for Pente which has twelve variants, including both normal US Pente and Keryo Pente (the version now preferred by advanced players). All variants can be played by up to nine players. It even displays the current rules and captures during play.
However, I believe Pente is protected by copyright, so it probably should not be put on this web site for everyone to download. (I could be wrong about that; I thought Terrace and Octi were copyrighted games, but I see Zillions versions of them on this site.) I sent Pente.zrf to the Zillions developers about a month ago, but I haven't heard back from them yet.
If you want to contact me directly, see my profile. |

Zillions comes with Pente. It is listed as Go-Moku and played as the Ninuki-Renju varients.
It uses its own engine and plays a strong game.
The version created by Patrick S. Duff sounds more complete. I would be interested in playing it. |
