http://localhost:3000to view the game.
- When the game starts, you'll see the game board with empty slots.
- Players take turns to drop their colored discs into the columns of the board.
- The first player to connect four of their colored discs in a row wins the game.
- If the board fills up before a player achieves four in a row, the game is a draw.
Connect Four is played on a vertical grid with 7 columns and 6 rows. Players alternate turns, dropping one of their colored discs into an empty column. The discs fall straight down, occupying the lowest available space within the column.
To win, you must be the first player to connect four of your colored discs in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
The game interface is responsive, adapting to different screen sizes for optimal viewing and interaction. Whether you're playing on a desktop or a mobile device, you'll have a smooth gaming experience.
