2 player connect 4 game built with swiftUI while learning swift/swiftui

Screen.Recording.2022-09-27.at.10.17.22.AM.mov

CHALLENGES

• learning swift/swiftui for the first time
• wiring up data model to UI controls
• win state checking (optimized based on the last checker played to save scanning entire grid after every turn)

TODO

• do not hardcode player turn order
• do not hardcode input selection
• do not hardcode grid boundary checks
• player nicknames / winner nicknames
• fix unique id warning in rows/columns

STRETCH GOALS

• arbitrary grid size
• arbitrary player count

Also...

Not sure if

• board should be passed around so much in data model, wonder what an FP implementation would look like?
