• Shrey: For the project, I made the board class which basically plays a role in the backend of the game and sets the discs placed at the desired location. I also added a color select screen to it which basically lets the users select whatever color they wish for the project. I also helped Owais set up the main loop of the game.
• Jerry: Created Player, PlayerComputer, and PlayerHuman classes, Created Minimax strategy for computer to choose best move in Player vs Computer mode, optimized get_winner function and added description for get function in Board class
• Guanyu: Designed the wireframes of Homepage and Scoreboard, and optimized timer function to develop Scoreboard class. The wireframe I designed combined the work of other members.
• Nicholas: Created the Leaderboard class to show top players in order, also worked with Guanyu for the Homepage and Scoreboard classes and debugged them.
• Owais: I worked on the Main file which handles all the processes in the game. I implemented the user switching pages such as from choose disc colour to the game. I worked on setting up the scoreboard such as starting the timer and updating player's scores. I implemented the Connect4 game itself which let the players drop discs, see the animation, and play the next move.
