Code:
/* This program has been designed to implement the game Gomoku (also know as five in a row). A user plays the game on a
* 15x15 board which is empty initially. The users will take turns to place one game piece (x for computer, O for the user)
* on the board.
*
* The player who first creates "five in a row", either horziontally, vertically, or diagonally, wins the game.
*
* This program will have the following features:
* (1) interact with the user playing the game,
* (2) contain two game strategies for computer
* (3) a design to show who is the winner.
*
* Terminal line command: a.out k moves boards
* Where k is option 0 for random computer moves and 1 is smart computer moves against the user*/
