Be first to make a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of five stones on an 8×8 board. Your opponent extends its own lines and blocks immediate winning threats.
WASD selects a cell and RETURN places a stone. You are O; the opponent is X. Filling the board without winning counts as failure.
Directions work on the keyboard or pad; the pad button also acts as RETURN. SPACE opens confirmation to restart this stage. NO is selected initially. Choose with A/D, confirm with RETURN, or cancel with SPACE. Play pauses during confirmation. CTRL+C returns to BASIC.
Each stone drops, lands, compresses, and returns to its shape through four stages with sound. Your move and the opponent's are shown separately. Only the completed line of five flashes three times before the result and jingle. Wait for the animation to finish before pressing again.
The right side shows both stone counts. CELL is the selected location, changing to the placement location during a move.
