Connect Four is a two-player connection game in which the players first choose a color and then take turns dropping one colored disc from the top 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 discs.

• Code Style

In order to maintain the code style consistency across entire project I use a code formatter. I kindly suggest you to do the same whenever you push commits to this project.

The python code formatter I chose is called Black. It is a great tool and it can be installed quickly by running

sudo -H pip3 install black

or

python3.6 -m pip install black

It requires Python 3.6.0+ to run.

• Usage

black {source_file_or_directory}

For more details and available options, please check their psf/black.

I also use isort, it is a Python utility / library to sort imports alphabetically, and automatically separated into sections. It provides a command line utility which can be installed using.

sudo -H pip3 install isort

• Usage

isort {source_file}.py

For more details and available options, please check their timothycrosley/isort.
