mostly for practice, can possibly add some game actions here

player 1 = red
player 2 = yellow

To provide instructions to people who have never played the game before

Right now the piece looks like it's dropping in front of the board, not in between the slots like in the real game.

Update this to make it look more game-like

a player can either drop a piece in from the top

OR

POPOUT a piece from the bottom, shifting all other pieces in that column down 1 row

The 5-in-a-Row variation for Connect Four is a game played on a 6 high, 9 wide, grid. Hasbro adds two additional board columns, already filled with player pieces in an alternating pattern, to the left and right sides of their standard 6 by 7 game board. The game plays similarly to the original Connect Four, except players must now get five pieces in a row to win. Notice this is still a 42-ply game since the two new columns added to the game represent twelve game pieces already played, before the start of a game.
