What does "gobang" come from?

gobang means a Japanese game played on goban, a go board. The appearance of goban looks like table structure. And I live in Kyoto, Japan. In Kyoto city, streets are laid out on a grid (We call it “goban no me no youna (碁盤の目のような)”). They are why I named this project "gobang".

Installation

If you’re using Homebrew or Linuxbrew, install the gobang formula:

$ brew install tako8ki/tap/gobang

If you already have a Rust environment set up, you can use the cargo install command:

$ cargo install --version 0.1.0-alpha.5 gobang
