Connect four server

[Nick Wertzberger]

Hello everyone...

 

Connect four is still on for the friday after next...  That is January 30.

I have attached the server for you to play with while developing your AI... It is iwritten in Python, and works anywhere Python and pyglet work, which is all major operating systems.

 

The wrappers for your programs are still being developed so that all you have to worry about is the AI, but you can connect to this using telnet or PuTTY and give it a try to see how the IO will work.  Good luck everyone! 

 

Note: PuTTY was giving me grief when entering a name, so your name is NoBody if you conenct using putty.

 

You will have to interface as shown below...  The text in red italics is your input.  The player below showed as black on the screen.

The ports you connect on are port 1337 and 1338.  You have to conenct to port 1337 first.  This player is the red player..

 

After both players are conencted, the server opens a game window and the game begins with a graphical representation of the above ascii carnage.

 

Note to any other "developers" for this project:  This is the LATEST EDITION of the server.
