Connect 4

This is a Java program that implements the classic Connect 4 game using an interface and Java GUI. The user can play against a computer opponent, whose logic was implemented by me. The objective of the game is to get four of your colored circles in a line, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Notice the logic is written in such a way, the computer opponent will try to block the user from winning. However, to keep the game fun, it will ignore occasionally.

What I Have Learned

1. Implementing interfaces and abstract classes in Java
2. Designing and implementing the logic for a computer opponent
3. Working with Java GUI elements, such as buttons and labels
4. Testing and debugging code to ensure it is functioning correctly

Compiling and Running

Ensure that you have the latest version of Java installed on your computer.

To Compile

javac -d bin src\*.java

Run

java -cp bin\ Main

Follow the prompts in the GUI to play the game.
