ConnectFour

A console Connect Four game.

What?

Personal project for a Job interview. Took me about 6 hours to make.

How to play?

dotnet run will let you play one game of connect 4 on a 7x6 board with X's and O's. White is X Black is O.

• White starts.
• Move the Checker above the board with the arrow keys.
• Press Enter to drop the checker. Game will end when one player has 4 checkers in a row.

Given more time I would:

• Make the Frontend more DRY.
• Add color to the frontend
• Add more tests.
• Refactor some classes to make it more in line with Open Close Principle, right now this is terrible.
• Add a BoardFactory and remake the Board Model so it works with multiple sizes and multiple games. (Connect 5 or 10x10 board)
• Rafactor the EndGameCheck. way to big and unreadable. it does not adhere to Open Closed Principle.
• Remove BoardService and place it in GameService.
