Project Guidelines

• Level 1: Build a playable game of Connect 4 with 2 players, a command line interface being fine. Should have player moves, win detection logic, tie detection, etc.
• Level 2: Implement a standard “AI” for the computer player. A standard computer opponent should block a human from winning when able to, but plays more ad hoc and does not operate with an advanced strategy.
• Level 3: Make it playable online (Heroku or similar) with a SPA web interface, games persisting to a database, etc.

Levels 1 and 3 done, but no AI yet.

Still to do

Include a simple AI to play Human Vs. Computer
