This is the game known as Connect-4, Score-4, 4-in-a-line or 4-in-a-row. This project was made for educational purposes while studying in Athens University of Economics & Business. The AI was based on code from the labs of the university. It uses the Minimax algorithm, optionally with alpha-beta pruning. A graphical interface is included. The user can click on the buttons or press the keys 1-7 to place a checker. To go back a move click on Undo option or press Ctrl+Z. To redo a move click on Redo option or press Ctrl+Y.
