Connect Four (Pygame Edition)

This is a desktop version of the classic Connect Four game implemented in Python using the Pygame library. The game allows two players to take turns dropping pieces into a 7x6 grid. The first player to align four of their pieces in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—wins the game.

How to Play

• Run the game.
• Player 1 (red) and Player 2 (yellow) alternate turns.
• Click a column to drop your piece.
• First to 4 in a row wins!
