Connect 4 Game

A two player game where you drop cylinders into slots starting from the bottom up. The cylinders stack on top of one another as the player works to get 4 in a row before the other player to win the game.

Technologies

  1. Javascript
  2. HTML5
  3. CSS3

Approach

First I started mapping out the entire project on google docs. Deciding which day I was going to work on what. Giving myself enough time at teh end to test and polish the app before deployment. Factoring in win/lose logic was going to take the longest. Finally, applying the rest of the CSS3.

Unsolved

The coin needs to appear when the appropriate slot is clicked on.

Challenges

The virtical and horizontal wins took me some time to figure out how to do it properly.
