# PyConnect-4
|
||
|
||
**PyConnect-4** is, as the name suggests, a Python implementation of the classic Connect-4 game.
|
||
It comes with **two game modes**:
|
||
|
||
- **CLI**: Play directly in the terminal.
|
||
- **GUI**: Play using a PyGame graphical interface.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
Both game modes include:
|
||
|
||
- Player vs Player (on the same device)
|
||
- ~~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
|
||
|
||
- cache / transposition table (avoid rechecking already evaled positions)
|
||
- if a move results in a win, immediately return without recursion
|
||
- MAYBE refactor to a bitboard approach (MUCH MUCH faster cuz bitwise operations)
|
||
|
||
### GUI
|
||
|
||
- animations
|
||
|
||
|
||
(Cement-4, PyConnect-4 + Dementris where you forget the tiles lmao)
|
||
|
||

move the cursor to the top cuz it makes more sense, make it point down.
