# Connect-Four

[Connect Four](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connect_Four) is a classic two-player game where the objective for a player is to be the first one to form four of their game chips in either a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line. There are three outcomes that can occur in this game, the person playing red wins, the person playing yellow wins, or the game ends in a tie.

This program is an exact copy of the classic game. It was written in C# and all graphics were made with GDI+. This program requires .NET Framework 4.7.2 in order to function and run.

## Current Features

* Ability to play against a computer player

* Ability to play against a human player (must share the same computer and pointing device)

* Ability to mute sound effects

* Ability to start a new game if one is already ongoing
