How to Use
- Copy the entire code above into a file named
luffarschack.html. - Open it in any modern web browser.
- Click on empty cells to place black (Player 1) or white (Player 2) stones.
- First to get five in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) wins!
- Supports draw detection if board fills without a winner.
- Click "New Game" to reset.
Features
- 15x15 grid (standard Gomoku size).
- Smooth animations and go-board styling with realistic stone gradients.
- Efficient win detection (checks only from the last move).
- Visual win highlight (yellow glow on winning line).
- Fully responsive and mobile-friendly.
- No dependencies – pure HTML/CSS/JS.
This is a complete, production-ready implementation. Drop it on your website and go! If you need customizations (e.g., AI opponent, different size, scores), ask for follow-ups. 🚀
