                      Game name: 5 in row
                  Creation date: Around June / 99

g5 is a cool new GTK 5 in row implementation,  that currently includes a
mediocre AI to try and offer your 5 in row skills a challange.


Features that will probably be included in future versions:

* A good AI with dynamic parameters, making it a harder match.
* Nice graphics/sounds (if they are contributed :).
* Networked game option to help you organize 5 in row competitions.


Possible future features also include:

* Some help/documentation.
* GNOME support.
* Funny Themes for famous opponent virtually playing the game.


Bug report:

If you can identify a bug, please report it to the address specified in the
next section.
Please mention all details concerning the bug and how to reproduce it if
possible. If the AI seems to take too long, it is probably the AI process
crashing ("ps ax|grep g5" should show you a Zombie g5 process, which is
the dead AI process).  If the AI process isn't dead, you probably need to just
lower the AI level (no need to restart, just undo/redo to get AI to new level
:)
If you encounter the message:
"Bug ## occurance detected! Please report the incident as specified in the
README." please just send a bug report containing the bug number specified and
if possible, how to reproduce it.


How can you help?

We need help with GtkAccelGroup usage.  We have failed in trying to make menu
hotkeys actually work, if you can send patches, or an explanation/example to
the appropriate usage of GtkAccelGroup we would appriciate it.

You can also help by sending some cool pixmaps that could help make the game
look cooler or sounds you think are appropriate.
We really need graphics! :)  We need some original toolbar graphics and some
graphics for last/non-last X and O... I'm hopeless when it comes to
art/graphics so please fire up Gimp, and make some 20x20 pixmaps, it will only
take you a few minutes :)

If you notice anything in the TODO list you can help with, feel free to send
some patches/suggestions, we'll appriciate them.

The address you should send to is mentioned in the Feedback section.
