# Connect Four

This repository contains the program for a python implementation of a connect 4 game

## TODO

### 1. **Completed**

- GUI Layouts for:

  - Main Menu

  - Game Over Window

  - Game Statistics Window

  - Player Setup Window

  - Game History Window

  - Network Setup Window

  - Game Window

- A Return to Main Menu Widget

- A basic outline of the network setup logic.

- A basic interaction between the front-end (GUI) and a hypothetical back-end game logic.

### 2. **Not Implemented / Needs Consideration**

- **Backend Game Logic**:

  - Actual game rules for Connect 4 (winning conditions, draw conditions).

  - Logic for AI player (e.g., the Minimax algorithm).

  - Handling multiplayer games, especially over the network.

  - Saving and loading game states.

  - Tracking and updating game statistics and history.

- **Network Functionality**:

  - Actual networking logic for hosting and joining games.

  - Handling communication between two game instances over the network.

- **Database or Storage**:

  - A system to store game history, player statistics, saved game states, etc.

- **Art and Graphics**:

  - Visual assets for the game board, pieces, background, etc.

  - Animations (like a piece falling) for improved user experience.

- **Sound Effects and Music**:

  - Background music or sound effects for gameplay actions (like dropping a piece).

- **AI Player**:

  - Developing and integrating an AI player. While we discussed the Minimax algorithm, the actual AI implementation and its integration with the game logic are still pending.

- **Error Handling and Robustness**:

  - Ensuring that the game handles unexpected situations gracefully.

  - Validations, especially in network settings (e.g., valid IP address, port number).

- **Testing**:

  - Both unit tests (for individual components/functions) and integration tests (for the whole game) need to be considered.

- **Documentation**:

  - Commenting the code, writing user manuals, or developer documentation if needed.
