hmm. Not bad -- for a connect four game. :D
The A.I.'s a bit stupid, though (humanly?) random. It'd also be nice if I could click on a row to drop a ball, instead of having to go up to the "drop" button.

I'd try it but I don't run executables from people I don't know on forums :)

The first time I played it, I won 3 across horizontal on the bottom middle-left. The Ai is random, it just lets me win. When I played the game, not really trieng to win, just playing around, a message box came up saying "Run-time error '340': Control array element '22' doesn't exist" when it was the computer's turn. Just some minor flaws in your game, other than that I thought it was good.

Thx for the feedback and straight of the Ai is random because 1. im not that great to do an actual Ai and 2. the game was made for 2 players initially.

I'd try it but I don't run executables from people I don't know on forums :)

If u dont then what was the point of your post?

There are several bugs with this game atm, which will (hopefully) be fixed for the next version and ill add in diagonal wins soon ;)

He has a valid point. Generally, running untrusted executables is not a good idea. When people post the source code with the program there's less concern.

Same, but based on user feedback in this thread and dayohs reputation of posting usefull programs, I don't see any reason to be concerned =P

Anyways.... yeah one bug I found - I randomly seem to get Run-time error 340: Control array element 22 doesnt exist.


(btw, what's VB6?)

Not bad but I couldn't seem to get the AI to work at all.


(btw, what's VB6?)

VB6=Visual Basic 6, A programing language from microsoft.

dude sorry but this blows hardcore... there is nothing sweet about this at all... no AI = no challenge. try again bro.
also, VB6, when coded to do stuff like you have is weak. please, try to learn real programming languages. (and connect 4 is a terrible program to write... it's not exciting, not fun, not challenging)

Well I enjoyed it. It would seem like an easy way to improve the AI would be to add an if statement checking wether or not the opponent has 3 in a row and acting accordingly.

If you have something better, post it. If you dont, stfu. It's obviously a work in progress, and it doesnt look bad for a first try.
