Mission briefing

A Connect Four game is a two-player game where the objective is to connect four coins of the same color in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal fashion (more information is available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connect_Four).

The Connect Four game in this project is based on the book Making Games with Python & Pygame (http://inventwithpython.com/makinggames.pdf).
