Name of the game: Connect 4

Description

Connect 4 is a strategy game in which the objective is to get 4 tokens in a row before your opponent, whether it is vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. It should be possible to create this game using a terminal only, although it could probably be done in a separate window if we make the code a bit more complicated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connect_Four

From scratch or inspired?

I plan to write all the code from scratch. Although I am sure that there is an existing version out there, I want to write it all myself to help my own knowledge grow.

What programming language(s) do you expect to use for this game?

I expect to use Python to create this game.

How much programming experience do you have?

I know a bit of the C language due to taking ECE 15 and some personal projects. I am also barely getting into the Python language so making this game should help me get the hang of this language even faster. All in all, I have been coding for less than a year so far.
