Connect4

A simple Connect4 game created with Dropwizard.

Features

• Can play with 2+ players
• Customizable grid dimensions (must contain at least 1 square)
• Choose how many consecutive tokens are required for a win (i.e. Connect5, Connect100, etc.)

Getting Started

Run the jar with a YAML containing your desired config.

java -jar target/connect4-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar server connect4.yml

The above example contains the example config, connect4.yml, but any YAML file that follows its structure can be used.

To drop a token in a certain column (1-indexed):

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"column":1}' http://localhost:8080/connect-4/play

To restart the game:

curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/connect-4/restart
