Connect 4 game

Connect 4 game.	

You will get a 100 if you can create this program
	with using only Pseudocode.
If you have a copy of the complete program,
	You will get a grade of 70.

Here's a basic Python program for a console-based 
Connect Four game. The game is played in a 6x7 grid, 
where players take turns dropping pieces into 
columns to form four in a row horizontally, 
vertically, or diagonally. 
This code includes functions to create the board, 
place pieces, and check for win conditions.

Here's a basic Python program for a console based Connect Four game. 
The game is played in a 6x7 grid, where players take turns 
dropping pieces into columns to form four 
in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
	How to Play:
1.	Start the game by running the code.
2.	Players take turns choosing a column to drop their piece into by entering a number from 0 to 6.
3.	The game ends if:
o	A player connects four in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
o	The board is full, resulting in a draw.
You can expand on this game by adding additional features like AI for a single-player mode or visual improvements using libraries like pygame.

Connect Four Game Pseudocode

************************

Initialize constants:
    ROWS = 6
    COLS = 7

Initialize a 6x7 game board with empty cells (0s)

Define function print_board(board):
    Print the board to the console (flipped vertically)

Define function is_valid_location(board, col):
    Return True if the top cell in the selected column is empty (0), otherwise False

Define function get_next_open_row(board, col):
    For each row from top to bottom:
        If the cell in that row and column is empty (0):
            Return the row index

Define function drop_piece(board, row, col, piece):
    Place the piece in the specified row and column of the board

Define function check_win(board, piece):
    For each possible starting location in the board:
        Check for horizontal, vertical, and diagonal four-in-a-row for the given piece
        If a four-in-a-row is found, return True
    Return False if no four-in-a-row is found

Define function connect_four():
    Set game_over = False
    Set turn = 0

    Print the initial board

    While game_over is False:
        If turn is even (Player 1's turn):
            Set piece = 1
            Display "Player 1's turn"
        Else (Player 2's turn):
            Set piece = 2
            Display "Player 2's turn"

        Prompt the player to choose a column (0 to 6)
        If chosen column is valid (is_valid_location(board, col)):
            Find the next open row in the selected column (get_next_open_row)
            Place the piece in that row and column (drop_piece)

            If this move results in a win (check_win(board, piece)):
                Print the board
                Display "Player {piece} wins!"
                Set game_over = True

            Print the current board
            Increment turn by 1
        Else:
            Display "Column full. Choose another column."

        If the board is completely filled and no winner is found:
            Display "The game is a draw!"
            Set game_over = True

Run the connect_four() function to start the game
