Really helpful dude. I've been trying to do a check_winner function for the past couple of hours and I'm missing it. This is really helping!

hey, could you explain how I would be able to do this using a dictionary instead of the array, to set the format?

[tomyman]

when checking the winner i would use the last move as information so i avoid searching the full board

BOARD_COLS=7

Hi Spencer, that's a great tutorial which inspired me to create my own version of the game. Would it be very difficult to create option for 1 player with a computer? thanks

Quick question I made a connect 4 game using pygame but I want to highlight the winning move with a line any ideas on how to do that?

Hey man, thanks so much for the above, quick question,
How do you handle an instance where the column is full?

Hey spencer is there a way to have multiple rounds but with the same board?:For example when the round is over the winning 4 as well as the ones that are in touch with them would be deleted and if there are any enemy symbols above they would slide down in the new empty spots . I was trying to implement it my self for a school project but couldnt do it :C .Thanks in advance!
