This is a connect 4 game I created for my functional course final project using Haskell. It's capable of playing connect 4 1 on1 with a real person or play with the build-in AI
The gameboard is a 6x6 matrix and you get to insert your piece at any column. The game is simple. Pieces will drop on top of each other and who connects 4 of their own piece, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, wins the game. A wed-app connect 4 is available here for example: https://www.mathsisfun.com/games/connect4.html.
To compile the project, run:
ghc Main.hsOptional flags include:
| Flag | Long version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -h | --help | Print out a help message and quit the program |
| -w | --winner | Print out who will win this game, using an exhaustive search (no cut-off depth) |
| -d <num> | --depth=<num> | Use as a cutoff depth, instead of your default |
| -m <num> | --move=<num> | |
| -v | --verbose | Output both the move and a description of how good it is: win, lose, tie, or a rating |
| -i | --interactive | Start a new game and play against the computer |
For instance, to play 1 on 1 interactive game after successful compilation, run:
Main -i
