# Connect4_ConsoleGame
This project is a console-based implementation of the Connect 4 game. It is developed as an exercise project for our Programming Lecture at DHBW Stuttgart.
## Description
Connect 4 is a classic two-player game where the goal is to connect four discs of the same color in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line on a grid. This project provides a command-line interface to play the game against a bot or another human player.
### Class Diagram
- `App`: Manages the start of the game and processes the player type choices of the user.
- `Board`: Manages the game board and provides operations for placing discs and checking win conditions.
- `Player`: Represents a player and stores information such as player name and disc color.
- `Human`: Is a player, who is controlled by the user.
- `Bot_Horizontal`: Is a player bot, who always places the discs horizontal.
- `Bot_Vertical`: Is a player bot, who always places the discs vertical.
- `Bot_Random`: Is a player bot, who always places the discs random.
- `Bot_AI`: Is a player bot, who always places the discs in a smart way with the target to win.
- `FieldColor`: Represents the disc colors.
- `PlayerType`: Represents all player types.
## Features
- Interactive gameplay for two human players
- Single-player mode against computer bots of different difficulty levels
- Multiple bot strategies, including horizontal, vertical, random, and smart moves
- Visual representation of the game board using ASCII characters
- Win condition detection and game over handling
- Input validation and error handling
