Hi everyone, I’ve been working on an iOS app for Pente and wanted to share it here.

For anyone new to it, Pente is an abstract strategy game where you win by getting five stones in a row or by capturing five pairs of your opponent’s stones.

The app is called Pente Go. You can play:

  * Online against friends or other players
  * Local pass-and-play
  * Single-player against AI
  * Classic or tournament opening rules
  * Leaderboard and basic stats
I’d appreciate any feedback, especially from people who play Pente, Go, Gomoku, or other abstract strategy games.
