-# PyConnect-4
+# connect-4
 
-**PyConnect-4** is, as the name suggests, a Python implementation of the classic Connect-4 game.  
+This will eventually become a connect-4 game written in Python with an AI opponent you can play.
-It comes with **two game modes**:  
 
-- **CLI**: Play directly in the terminal.  
+I will make and train the AI myself.
-- **GUI**: Play using a PyGame graphical interface.  
 
----
+I might make a GUI in Pygame, depends if i cbs
 
-## Features
+todo list:
+~~player vs player on the same device~~, player vs player lan, and player vs computer
 
-Both game modes include:  
+pvp lan todo:
-
+    (It's in maintenance rn cuz of 1,000,000 serious vulns)
-- Player vs Player (on the same device)  
+    remember the last ip you played against. remember ip input with a name?
-- ~~Player vs Player (LAN)~~ *(currently under maintenance)*  
+    stop multiple ppl joining one game (or add spectators)
-- Player vs CPU (uses a strong minimax algorithm)  
+    make it so when ppl leave, the game ends instead of hanging or crashing.
-- 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.
-
-### GUI
-
-- Make all the menus a big ol dict for cleanliness
