Connect Four is a classic two-player game where each player chooses a color, either 'R' (Red) or 'Y' (Yellow), and takes turns dropping colored discs into a 6x7 grid. The objective is to be the first to form a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line of four discs of the same color.
Connect Four is a strategic game that challenges players to outwit their opponent by forming a line of four discs while blocking the opponent's attempts to do the same. The game ends when one player achieves this goal, or the grid is completely filled without a winner, resulting in a draw.
- The game starts with an empty 6x7 grid, represented by dashes (
-).
- Players take turns to drop one of their colored discs into any of the 7 columns.
- The disc falls to the lowest available slot in the selected column.
A player wins by connecting four of their discs in one of the following ways:
- Vertical: Four discs in a column.
- Horizontal: Four discs in a row.
- Diagonal (Left to Right): Four discs in a downward slope from left to right.
- Diagonal (Right to Left): Four discs in a downward slope from right to left.
- The game ends immediately when a player forms a line of four discs, and that player is declared the winner.
- If the grid is completely filled without any player forming a line of four discs, the game ends in a draw.
- Players use the keyboard to select the column (0-6) where they want to drop their disc.
