Connect 4

Beat the computer with four pieces in a row!

Instructions to play connect four

The rules are simple: You play against the computer and you both have 21 discs (or markers) each. Depending on what level you selected, either you starts (with red discs) or the computer starts (with yellow discs). Click on the column you want your disc to fall down into. The disc falls to the lowest empty slot in that column. Then you wait for the computer to put it's disc. When the computer is finished, you can add your next disc.

To win in connect 4

The first to get four of their pieces in a straight line wins. A line can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. You have to beat the computer to finish the round. If it's a tie (the whole game board is filled with discs) you have to try again.

Considerations in the game

On the more difficult levels, your computer often has to think for a long time to find a really good place for its disc. If you have a tired computer, this can take several minutes and during this period of time a pulsating spinning circle in the middle of the board will be shown.

Calculation of knowledge points

Each completed game level gives 1 knowledge point in Connect 4. The maximum number of points (14 knowledge points) is achieved when you pass all 14 levels. You'll get a bronze medal when you complete a level 2 times and a silver medal after 5 completed rounds. A gold medal will be received after 10 completed rounds. In Connect 4, the maximum number of collectable gold medals is 14. You only earn knowledge points for levels that has not been cleared before. A cleared level has a green background above. Even when you have completed a level, you can continue practicing at that level, but it gives you no more knowledge points.
