Connect Four

đź”´ Connect Four

Connect Four is a classic strategy game: drop discs into a vertical grid and be the first to connect four in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Play against the computer and outsmart its moves.

🎯 Objective

Connect four of your discs in a line before the computer does.

📜 Rules & Gameplay

  • Grid: 7 columns Ă— 6 rows.
  • Turns: On your turn, drop one disc into a column; it falls to the lowest empty cell.
  • Win: Make a line of four (row, column, or diagonal). If the grid fills with no winner, it’s a draw.

đź’ˇ Strategy Tips

  • Control the center column to create more four-in-a-row chances.
  • Build two-way threats (forks) so blocking one line opens another.
  • Block the opponent’s open “three” immediately; think one turn ahead.
  • Watch column parity: vertical wins depend on who plays last in that column.

đź§  Extra Tips

  • Set up diagonals from the center outward; they’re harder to spot and block.
  • Avoid drops that hand your opponent an immediate winning reply next turn.
