1. Connect4 game should work fine on a P100 with 32MB RAM J

This game version requires GLUT v3.xx to play.

2. Connect4 is a two-player turn-based game (human vs. human, human vs. computer, or computer vs. computer), each player with his set of pieces has to choose a column to drop his piece into (each dropped piece will occupy the lowest possible place in a column). You can’t drop a piece in a full column. The player’s goal is to be the first to connect 4 of his pieces(minimum) on a line (vertical, horizontal, diagonal). The game can end as a tie if none of the players was able to connect 4 pieces and the board is full.

3. To choose the column to drop the piece into you have to press one of the number keys 1 – 0. If you would like to start a new game press ‘N’. To toggle fullscreen press ‘F’.

A standard board of Connect4 has 7 columns, 6 rows and 4 pieces required to connect. Still you can change the rules by editing the file ‘c4.ini’. Also you can modify the computer player skill, etc.

4. The textures are ‘programmer-art’.
