Key Features

Player vs. Al Mode: Offers players the option to compete against a sophisticated Al opponent that uses strategic moves based on game theory.
Player vs. Player Mode: Allows two players to compete against each other, providing a traditional Connect 4 experience.
Intelligent Al Opponent: The Al opponent adapts its strategies based on the player's moves, ensuring each game is challenging and unique.

Technical Implementation

The Al algorithm evaluates the game board and determines the best move based on potential winning opportunities and blocking strategies.

Utilizes Java's robust programming capabilities to implement game logic and Al decision-making processes.

Gameplay Mechanics

The game follows traditional Connect 4 rules where two players alternate turns dropping colored discs into a seven-column, six-row vertically suspended grid.

The objective is to be the first to form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four of one's own discs.

Project Impact

The Connect 4 Game with Al not only provides entertainment but also serves as an educational tool to understand Al applications in game development. It demonstrates the ability to integrate complex algorithms in a gaming context, enhancing the interactive experience through technological innovation.
