Connect Four (C++ Console)
A downloadable game for Windows
## Connect Four (C++ Console Implementation)
This is a simple console-based version of the classic Connect Four game, implemented in standard C++ using Visual Studio.
**Features:**
* Two-player gameplay (alternating turns).
* Visual board representation in the console.
* Win condition checking (horizontal, vertical, diagonal).
* Draw detection (full board).
* Input validation for column selection.
**Context:**
This project was developed as a foundational C++ exercise during the 'Programming for Game Engines' module (Year 2) at Teesside University, serving as a refresher before working with Unreal Engine C++. The focus was on C++ fundamentals, 2D vector/array manipulation, and basic game logic implementation.
