Connect Four is a two-player strategy game similar to tic-tac-toe. It is played using 42 tokens (21 red & 21 black) inside a grid of 7 columns by 6 rows where both players take turns
A player's move consists of dropping one of his tokens into a column of his choice where it falls until it hits the bottom or the top token in that column. In addition, if the chosen column is already full then the player must choose another one.
A player wins by creating an arrangement in which at least four of his tokens are aligned in a row, column or diagonal (ascending or descending). Therefore if the board is full with tokens whilst not having formed any kind of arrangement, then the match results in a Tie between both players.
As a request from our professors this project was developed using a Notebook. Therefore if you're looking forward to test it out yourself, keep in mind to either use a Anaconda Distribution or a 3rd party software that helps you inspect and execute it.
Therefore, for more informations regarding the Virtual Environment used in Anaconda, consider checking the DEPENDENCIES.md file.
