connect4's Issues

BUG when a column gets filled

no error is shown if we again try to put another piece in that column rather it passes the turn to next player

Make the game work for different board sizes

If the size of board changes, the window overflows the screen and the game cannot be played

Implement new game window

Window that can

• act as an entry point for users to start the game
• take names from player 1 and player 2
• after the game is either over or the game draws, then this window will be shown and users can restart game from here itself. (thus solving issue #5 )

give more functionality to user to change aesthetics of the game.

• user can change color of coins.
• user can change game's grid color.

Implement multiplayer gaming using sockets

• Use Socket server.

Add community section in readme

follow this https://gist.github.com/ramantehlan/602ad8525699486e097092e4158c5bf1#cherry_blossom-community

don't add branches sub section, also mention about CODE_OF_CONDUCT file in project directory.

Use alternate approach for `restart.sh`

• Give more controls to the user in the game window itself.

Release game for multiple platforms.

Platforms:

• Linux based distros.
• Mac
• Windows.

Write test cases for the game

you can use unittest framework.

design an aesthetic single page product launch website.

you can take inspiration from: studiovoila
for an example this is main page for the same.

website should be static.

Add more badges in readme.

• add FOLLOW CODE-MONK08 (github badge, take reference from twitter badge)
• add sourcerer.io hall of fame for my profile. (take reference from bottom most section in this readme)

Design a logo for Connect 4

• Create Vector Graphics.
• Logo must not be copied.

Modify readme to mention about game features.

make a new features section.

which lists all of the following:

• two player game
• supports undo operation
• supports interactive game sounds
• ability to play with computer AI (currently in development phase)
• multiplayer on local network using sockets. (in development phase)
• ability to customize game theme. (in development phase)
• is cross platform Linux, Windows, Mac (in development phase)

More than 2 players can play the game at once

More than 2 players can play the game at the same time with the same rules.In other words, the number of players is also generalized.For example, there may be 3 players red,blue and green each aiming to achieve 4 in a row on the same board.

Refactor Codebase.

• Use OOP Principles.
• Improve modularity.
• Move all the game config in config.py
• Follow DRY approach.
• Write Comments by following PEP guide.

Implement Game AI.

Currently only two human users can play the game at once, design game AI for human vs computer experience, Use

• Min Max Algorithm.

Bug in game:undo

There is some issue in the code of game:undo.
Test case: Upon starting the game,play 3 moves and then press Ctrl+Z twice. Firstly only one disc is removed when it should have been 2 and secondly the turn is of the wrong person.
This issue can be further exploited in lots of ways to make theoretically impossible game configurations.
