What is this game?
-----------------------
This is a classic Connect 5 game. Play against the CPU and try to connect 5 in a row. I wanted to create this as a simple 1-bit game, meaning it uses only one color (plus a black background). It was a challenge since I’m not really a graphic designer, but I think it turned out okay. At the very least, it looks unique. All the graphics were created using the draw commands only, with no external assets. The game was made with Qb64.

How to play?
----------------
You can choose the grid size (14x14, 20x20, or 26x26) as well as the window size (small, medium, or large). Click "Start Game" to begin. The goal is to get 5 in a row—vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

The player is white and always plays first. To place your stone, simply choose a slot on the grid. After your turn, the CPU will play its turn. You can identify the CPU’s last move by the "dot" in the center of its circle/stone.
