# PyConnect-4 # PyConnect-4
**As the name suggests, this is Connect-4, made in Python. There are two versions, CLI, where you play the game in a terminal, and GUI where you play in a PyGame GUI.** **PyConnect-4** is, as the name suggests, a Python implementation of the classic Connect-4 game.
It comes with **two game modes**:
## Both gamemodes feature: - **CLI**: Play directly in the terminal.
Player vs Player (on the same device) - **GUI**: Play using a PyGame graphical interface.
~~Player vs Player (LAN)~~
Player vs CPU (a minimax algorithm that is VERY strong)
A settings system, which allows the user to switch between tile display modes, as well as change the strength of the CPU. ---
## To-do list: ## Features
### Player vs Player (LAN): Both game modes include:
(take it out of maintenance)
remember the last ip you played against. remember ip by hostname of pc?
like remember all the ips youve played against and store the hostname - ip combo in a file so you can play against "t495" instead of 192.168.1.xxx
stop more than 2 people joining one game (or implement a spectator system ig)
make it so when people leave, the game actually ends instead of just sitting there / crashing.
### Player vs CPU: - Player vs Player (on the same device)
fix priorities, as sometimes it prefers a vertical 3 in a row instead of a horizontal win. - ~~Player vs Player (LAN)~~ *(currently under maintenance)*
- Player vs CPU (uses a strong minimax algorithm)
- Settings system (adjust display mode and CPU strength)
---
## To-Do List
### Player vs Player (LAN)
- Take it out of maintenance.
- Remember the last IP you played against:
- Optionally store IP by hostname.
- Keep a file with all previously played hostname–IP pairs to allow connecting using the computers hostname like `t495` instead of `192.168.1.xxx`.
- Prevent more than 2 people from joining a single game (or consider adding a spectator mode).
- Make sure the game ends properly when players leave, instead of freezing or crashing.
### Player vs CPU
- Fix priority issues: sometimes the CPU prefers a vertical 3-in-a-row instead of completing a horizontal win.
