ConnectDOS

Summary

You've probably played Connect Four already at least once in your life. But have you ever played it on MS-DOS? Well, today is your lucky day!

Features

-Play against another person or against an AI!

Additional info

This game was made in 16-bit  ASM. Because of this, the game is designed to run on MS-DOS and it normally won't run on modern Windows. So, to run it, I heavily recommend that you use DOSBox (it's the emulator I used to test it).

Code

The game's repository can be found at: https://github.com/alecastroaraya/connectfour-asm

Controls

After running the game you'll be prompted to press a key. Each player's tokens are represented by either a 1 if they were inserted by player 1, or a 2 if they were inserted by player 2. These are the keys you can press:

-F1: Displays the instructions for the game

-A: Displays info about the game

-1-7: Put a token in the selected column (can be from one to seven)

-F5: Puts a token in a valid random column. Works for both players. Can be used as an AI if there is no second human player.

-V: Invert the board and its tokens

-ESC: Exit the game

After starting a race by selecting option 2, simply press the ENTER key repeatedly to see the snails gradually progress until one of them wins.
