Background

According to Wikipedia Connect 4 is, a two-player connection game in which the players first

choose a color and then take turns dropping one colored disc from the top into a seven-column,

six-row vertically suspended grid. The pieces fall straight down, occupying the lowest available

space within the column. The objective of the game is to be the first to form a horizontal,

vertical, or diagonal line of four of one's own discs.

Be able to create a JavaFX window.

Be able to create JavaFX GUI objects.

Be able to create JavaFX layout managers.

Learn how to create a simple two player game.

Assignment

This week, you will work to create a simple two player version of Connect 4. Your game should

be able to determine a winner or if the game results in a tie. You must also have a button that

will reset the game so it can be played again.

Implementation

Write a program that will let two users sitting right next to each other play a game of Connect 4

that meets the following criterion:

The game should be able to be reset so it can be played multiple times.

The game ends when one person has won or there is a tie.

The winner should be printed to the command line.

The user should be able to select a column and have their token (red or black) occupy the

lowest available space on the column. (Note: This doesnt have to be be fancy, a button at the

top of the row is fine.)

Notes

A sample layout (minus the reset button) for tic-tac-toe can be found on page 806 of your

book. You do not have to use their X and O images to get a good grade on this assignment.

Your reset button can be wherever you want it to be, but it must be visible to the user as to

where this button is.

Red should go first.

Unlike past assignments, I am fine with the main class being the board, but the board class

must be called Board.java.

Once a space is taken, you have to make sure that it cannot be claimed by the other player. For

example, if Red picks a spot Black cannot come in and take it.
