This is a classic Gomoku (also known as Five in a Row) game implemented in Java with a graphical user interface (GUI) and an AI opponent.

• Graphical User Interface: The game is built with Java Swing, providing a visual and interactive game board.
• Player vs. AI: Play against an AI opponent that uses the minimax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning to determine its moves.
• Game Controls: A simple control panel allows you to restart the game at any time.

1. Prerequisites:

   • Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.

2. Compilation: Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the src directory, and compile the Java files:

   javac *.java

3. Execution: After successful compilation, run the application from the src directory:

   java App

The project is organized into the following Java files within the src directory:

• App.java: The main class that launches the application.
• GameFrame.java: The main window for the game, containing the game panel and control panel.
• GamePanel.java: The panel that displays the Gomoku board and handles player input.
• ControlPanel.java: The panel with game controls, such as a "Restart" button.
• AI.java: Implements the logic for the computer opponent, using an AI algorithm to make intelligent moves.
