General Overview

Connect Four is a two-player connection board game, in which the players choose a color and then take turns dropping colored tokens into a seven-column, six-row vertically suspended grid. The pieces fall straight down, occupying the lowest available space within the column. The objective of the game is to be the first to form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four of one's own tokens. Connect Four is a solved game. The first player can always win by playing the right moves.

The game was first sold under the Connect Four trademark by Milton Bradley in February 1974.

Controls

This version of Connect Four is a point and click version. It is on a 4x4 grid. All playable columns will be highlighted in grey, and when a column is clicked, your playing piece will automatically be placed at the bottom of the corresponding column. If a column is full, an alert message will inform you of such. If there is a winner or tie, there will be an alert message as well. There is also a "restart button" available.

Winning Message

"Column is full" message

There are two features to inform the user(s) whose turn it is.

1. Text written at the lower part of the screen.
2. A circular display piece above the board that shows whether it is "yellow" or "red's" turn.

About the Project This is my first project at the General Assembly software engineering boot camp where we are making a web game. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate and practice our newly learned skills from Unit 1: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Connect Four was built in one week.

Built With: HTML/CSS JavaScript Icebox 🍦 User
