CONNECT FOUR GAME

A simple, copycat version of the classic game ( in the alien language LISP ) where humans can play against each other or against The bot and win by connecting four tiles vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Or, the bot can possibly wipe the floor with you. No hard feelings... at least from the bot.

• Recommended Emacs + SLIME + sbcl

• Run the following commands to compile and load the files in correct order

  (load "connectfour")
  (compile-file "connectfour.lisp")
  (load "connectfour")
  (load "bot")
  (compile-file "bot.lisp")
  (load "bot")
  

• If you want to just do a quick human-human game, you don't need to compile and load the bot.lisp file, just the connectfour.lisp file. You can run a simple human-against-human example like this:

  (play-human-human-game)
  

• You can run a simple human-against-computer example like this:

  (play-human-computer-game #'bot:make-computer-move t)
  

  ...or if you wish the computer to go first:

  (play-human-computer-game #'bot:make-computer-move nil)
  

NOTE

• There are lots of optional keywords to change the width and height of the board, the number in a row that must be achieved, the search depth, whether boards are printed, etc.
