Usage:

```shell

usage: connect-four.py [-h] [-V] [-n] [-r] [-d DATASET] [-s [{1,2,3}]] [-l]

Play Connect Four in the terminal. Written in Python.

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -V, --version         show script version

  -n, --net             play against trained neural net

  -r, --random          play against random moves

  -d DATASET, --dataset DATASET

                        path to .csv moves dataset to load random game

  -s [{1,2,3}], --style [{1,2,3}]

                        style of Connect Four game. 1, 2 or 3.

  -l, --log             log moves of game to logs/

```

### 'test-output-moves.csv' dataset format:

```

[starter, moves..., winner]

Starter: The first moves piece color that was randomly picked (1 or -1, for red/yellow)

Moves: Integer made from array row/col of where the moves were placed ([5,5] = 55, [5,3] = 53, etc...)

Winner: Winner of the game (1 or -1, for red/yellow)

Example:

[1],(55),53,50,45,43,33,56,51,40,30,35,54,44,34,25,52,{-1}

[]: red went first, (): red first move 55, {}: yellow ended up winning

```

# TODO:

* Finish implementing argument features for play.py:

    * --net, figure out neural net stuff to make moves in connect four. wow, difficult.

    * --log, log things like total moves, red/yellow moves, time/date, win method
