Gomuko C++ Program?

I'm an engineering student who's just learning the basics of C++, for an engineering project, me and my group are programming a Gomuko (Connect Five) Game. What are some concepts and things I need to learn for this? If possible, could you also provide links to websites where I read about them? Also, our program isn't going to have GUI, its just procedural programming, if that helps at all.

Gomuko C++ Program?
That's lot of work, may be you can contact a C++ expert live at website like http://definitivelab.com/
Reply:Hokay, as far as Gomoku goes (note the spelling), you should be able to implement it with an array and with recursion, however I am not going to tell you about recursion or link you to a tutorial. I am going to link to the wikipedia article about it:





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion





It may not be necessary and if you can implement your game without it, so much better. I did an owari game with recursion and I finally had to stop work because it took so much memory it crashed every computer I ran it on.





As far as C++ principles, libraries, language and so forth go, http://www.cplusplus.com/ should tell you everything you want to know.
