五子棋 · Gomoku
祖孫 · Family
教學 · How-to
視訊通話聊完「吃飽沒」之後，祖孫之間常常就沒話了。但「一起做一件事」不一樣——一盤下了三天的五子棋，是阿嬤每天早上想到孫子的理由，也是孩子放學後急著拿平板的理由（這次是好事）。五子棋小學堂的新版本，就是為這個場景做的。
After a video call runs out of "have you eaten yet?", grandparents and grandkids often run out of words. Doing something together is different — a Gomoku match that stretches across three days gives Grandma a reason to think of her grandson every morning, and gives the kid a reason to grab the iPad after school (a good reason, this time). The new version of Gomoku Kids was built exactly for this.
不用同時在線的「回合制」——像下明信片棋
Turn-Based Means No Schedules — Like Correspondence Chess
遠端對戰走的是 Apple 官方的 Game Center 回合制（就是遊戲內建的那個綠色泡泡服務）。你下一步，Apple 把這步棋送到對方裝置，輪到對方時他會收到「輪到你了」的通知——早上下一步、晚上回一步，完全不用約時間。
Remote play uses Apple's official Game Center turn-based service. You make a move, Apple delivers it to the other device, and they get a "your turn" notification — one move in the morning, a reply at night. No scheduling needed.
竹北到高雄？沒問題。台灣到美國？也一樣通。只要兩邊都有網路（Wi-Fi 或行動網路都行，不用同一個網路），距離不是變數。
Zhubei to Kaohsiung? No problem. Taiwan to the US? Works the same. As long as both sides have internet (Wi-Fi or cellular, doesn't need to be the same network), distance is not a factor.

：對戰只傳「棋步」，沒有聊天室、沒有陌生人配對入口的濫用空間、沒有任何第三方 SDK。app 本身維持無廣告、無內購、不收集任何個人資料——連線功能是選配，不開的話 app 100% 離線。
: Matches exchange board moves only — no chat, no third-party SDKs. The app stays ad-free, IAP-free, and collects no personal data. Online play is optional; without it the app is 100% offline.
三步驟設定（兩台裝置各做一次）
Three Steps (Do This on Both Devices)
-
兩台都裝五子棋小學堂（v1.0.20260710 以上）。需要 iOS 26 以上——幫長輩檢查一下機型能不能升，這是最常見的卡關點。
Install Gomoku Kids (v1.0.20260710 or later) on both devices. Requires iOS 26+ — check that Grandma's device can update; this is the most common blocker.
-
兩邊都登入 Game Center。「設定」→「Game Center」→ 打開並登入 Apple ID。長輩那台通常本來就登好了，開個開關就行。
Sign in to Game Center on both. Settings → Game Center → turn it on with the Apple ID. On most devices it's already signed in — just flip the switch.
-
App 內開一局「線上對戰」，邀請對方。第一次互加 Game Center 好友之後，之後開局只要點名字。下完一步就可以放下手機，輪到對方時他會收到通知。
Start an online match in the app and invite them. After adding each other as Game Center friends once, future games are one tap. Make your move and put the phone down — they'll get a notification when it's their turn.
👧 孩子用兒童 Apple ID？
👧 Child using a kids' Apple ID?
家人共享的兒童帳號，記得在「螢幕使用時間」→「內容與隱私權限制」裡允許「多人遊戲」，Game Center 邀請才收得到。這是家長端的開關，孩子自己動不了。
For Family Sharing child accounts, allow "Multiplayer Games" under Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions, or Game Center invites won't arrive. It's a parent-side switch kids can't change themselves.
