Description:
------------

GnoBang is a "get five in a row game" for the Gnome desktop.

GnoBang is a port of xmgobang from Xm/Xt to Gtk+/Gnome.
The original xmgobang was written back in 1995 as an motif programming
exercise. However it wasn't released until 2008, when I rediscovered
it cleaning up some old folders. Recently I decided it about time to
get familar with programming for the Gnome desktop and new tools like
glade and gtk-builder. So I decided to simply port xmgobang since I
wanted to write something "usefull".

The game algorithm itself is rather simple and was never intended to
be any good - however it seems to play resonable well, so I never
bothered to replace it with anything better.
