Connect Four

A Connect Four game implementation written in C for a school project.

Overview

This is a classic Connect Four game built entirely in C, featuring a command-line interface where two players take turns dropping pieces into a grid, aiming to connect four pieces in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Make (optional, if a Makefile is included)

Building

To compile the project:

5. The game ends in a draw if the board fills up
