Connect 5 is a popular tic-tac-toe version we play in Vietnam. The game is the same as tic-tac-toe but you have to connect 5 spots in order to win. I used to play this game with my schoolmates while waiting for class to start or sometime even during class. Back then there were no video games and computers so we kids just use our notebook and pencils to play this game and other games like find the next number, shooting the dots, or build the triangles.

I wrote this Connect5 game for Cafe75.com site. The algorithm I came up is pretty rudimentary. Give it a try and see if you can beat it.
