Inspiration
Last year, we remade chess, so naturally, we had to think of something similar. I chose connect 4 because it seemed simpler. Of course, we weren't going to settle for some normal Connect 4. I played Connect 4 many times over the years, and I've sometimes been bothered by the fact that there could only be 2 people playing it. That was the first variation we added. The second one actually was harder. We wanted some kind of special piece, so we came up with the idea for the barrier block, which I will explain later. Overall, we just picked a simple game, and decided to add some variations for it.
What it does
It's connect 4, but with a twist. You have this barrier block you could place every 4 moves that isn't any color, and after that you can place your ordinary move.
How we built it
I guess I just used a lot of if statements lol.
Challenges we ran into
There was this time, we weren't sure where to put the button to activate the barrier block. There was also the time where we need to dialate the board; we took 1 hour trying to find one error.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I loved it the original connect 4 started working, because then, we could start working on the little variations!
What we learned
I learned loads of java I forgot over the years :D
What's next for Block-it 4
Probably we will add animations, because I had no idea how to do it, and the other 2 were inactive. We might even add another little variation.
