NOTES

The real-life version of connect4 is basically an upright hollow board with several vertical columns and windows. Tokens are placed into the columns alternately by each player until one of the players has four tokens in a row. These four tokens must be adjacent to each other but the series of four can be in any direction.

Tokens are placed into a column by typing the number of the column printed at the top of the screen.

To exit the game type q or x and ctrl-L redraws the screen.
