Connect-4 Solver
Implement the famous game in JavaScript
We'll cover the following...
Suppose an 8*6 Connect-Four table is given. Each cell of the table is either empty (null), or contains the player’s number from the possible values 1 and 2. Determine if any player has won the game by connecting four of their symbols horizontally or vertically. For simplicity, ignore diagonal matches.
Solution:
As there is no example data, we have to model the table ourselves.
Press + to interact
const createEmptyTable = () =>new Array( 8 ).fill( null ).map(() => new Array( 6 ).fill( null ));
This simple arrow function returns an empty 6*8 array:
Press + to interact
let table = createEmptyTable()console.log(table)
It is evident that we will need a function that checks all elements of the array for four consecutive matches. I encourage you to implement this function ...
