Goal

The goal for this project is to support two-player sessions of m,n,k,p,q-games through a web interface developed using Google App Engine as the framework.

Future goals include adding support for three and four players.

m,n,k,p,q-game?

From Wikipedia:

An m,n,k-game is an abstract board game in which two players take turns in placing a stone of their color on an m×n board, the winner being the player who first gets k stones of their own color in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Thus, tic-tac-toe is the 3,3,3-game and free-style gomoku is the 19,19,5-game.

The p and q variables were introduced to support Connect6. From Connect6.org:

Black plays first and puts only q black stone on q unoccupied intersections (also called grids). Subsequently, Black and White alternately put p of their own stones on p unoccupied grids.
