Due: Thursday, March 24

Topic: 2-D arrays and functions

Game: Connect 4

2 players take turns placing letters in columns. (X’s & O’s)

Game Board has 7 Columns and 6 Rows

const int ROWS = 6;

const int COLUMNS = 7;

char GameBoard[ROWS][COLUMNS];

1       2      3     4      5      6      7

Rules:

Initialize your game board to all spaces.

Your game should recognize a winning move and announce the winner.

You need to have a function to display the game board.

You must get the users move by allowing them to select a column.

            Then place that player’s letter at the bottom of the specified column.

            If the column is already full let the player move in a different column.

If the game board is full the game is over.  Call it a tie.

Be sure to tell at each move whose turn it is.

The player who moves first is X the other player is O.

You may have global constants but not variables.
