Important!!!
Due to some issue with the dataset, we have updated the older datasets with new datasets -
Train
and Test.
The datathon is reset. We request you all to make new submissions. Also, we have extended the data sprint by 2 days.
Connect Four
(or
Connect - 4
) is a two-player connection board game, in which the players choose a color and then take turns dropping colored discs into a seven-column, six-row vertically suspended grid. The pieces fall straight down, occupying the lowest available space within the column. The objective of the game is to be the first to form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four of one's own discs. Connect Four is a solved game. The first player can always win by playing the right moves.
Connect four of your checkers in a row while preventing your opponent from doing the same. But, look out -- your opponent can sneak up on you and win the game!
-- Milton Bradley
A gameplay example (above), shows the first player starting
Connect Four
by dropping one of their yellow discs into the center column of an empty game board. The two players then take alternate turns in dropping one of their discs at a time into an unfilled column, until the second player, with red discs, achieves a diagonal of four in a row, and wins the game. If the board fills up before either player achieves four in a row, then the game is a draw.
Objective
Build a machine learning model to find out if the first player has won the game or not given the
connect-4
positions.
