The game Connect Four written in JavaScript. Two players alternate between placing dots with the intention of having four of their color in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, before the other player can. The current release can be played here!
Inspired by tobychin's design of his binary clock.

You'll need Node.js installed
Clone the project and cd into the directory, then install depenencies with NPM.
git clone https://github.com/tjkorthal/connect-four
cd connect-four/
npm installRun the build script to bundle dependencies, then the game can be played by opening index.html in a web browser.
Some magic needs to happen before the JavaScript can be used on the web. I use Browserify to allow the modules to be required on the client side. The NPM build script takes care of that.
npm run-script buildTests are written utilizing tape and can be run by simply running the NPM test script. The output is piped through faucet to pretty print test results.
npm testOutput:

Code should more or less conform to Airbnb's styleguide. I use ESLint and its VSCode extension to highlight formatting errors.
