C++

Connect 4 Game (Classic, not Frenzy)

Your solution must have these classes and at least these fields / methods. Your program must use the methods described in a meaningful fashion. You can create additional fields or methods but these the below should be core methods in your solution.

Chip class

fields:

color

methods:

Constructor

int getColor()

string toString() - returns an attractive string representation of itself

Board class

fields:

2D array of Chips - represents the game board (6 row by 7 column)

------ Example of part of a .h file with a 2D array -----

class Board

{

private:

static const int SIZE_COLUMNS = 7;

static const int SIZE_ROWS = 6;

int board[SIZE_ROWS][SIZE_COLUMNS];

};

----------------------------------------------------------

methods:

Constructor

string toString() - returns an attractive string representation of itself

This needs to be an attractive table representation of the game board with aligned rows / columns with characters representing blank cells, cells with a red chip in it and cells with a gold chip in it.

int dropChip(Chip, int) - drops a Chip object down a particular slot. Returns an int indicating success or not.

int isWinner() - returns code number representing no winner or player number of winner

Player class

fields:

name

color

methods:

Constructor

get / set methods for fields

string toString() - string representation of itself.

Example String representation of the board (X means blank, R means red chip, G means gold chip)

X X X X X X X

X X X X X X X

X X X X X G X

X X X X X R X

X X X X X R X

X R G G G R G

Main

Your program should create two Players and a Board. It should represent the initial Board to the screen.

You should then alternate between player 1 and player 2 and randomly drop chips down slots in the board. You should represent the board after each chip drop.

This should stop if there is a winner or if the board fills up.

You should be turning in a Chip.h, Chip.cpp, Board.h, Board.cpp, Player.h, Player.cpp and a gamedriver.cpp that has your main in it.
