Connect-4 Game

A Command-Line Connect-4 Game in Python with AI Opponent

This project is a Python-programmed simulation of the classic board game Connect-4. It allows a single player to challenge a computer opponent with a hard-coded AI directly in the terminal. The game aims to provide an interactive experience for playing Connect-4 against an automated player.

Features

• Single-Player Mode: Play against a computer AI opponent.
• Hard-Coded AI: The computer opponent makes strategic moves based on its programmed logic.
• Interactive Gameplay: Place your tokens on the Connect-4 grid directly from your command line interface.
• Game Board Display: Visual representation of the Connect-4 board in the terminal.
• Win Condition Detection: The game logic determines when a player or the AI has achieved four in a row, declaring a winner.

File Structure

• Connect-4.py: This is the main Python script that contains all the game logic, including the board representation, player input handling, AI decision-making, move validation, and win condition checks.
• README.md: This file provides an overview of the project, its features, and instructions on how to set it up and play.
