How I build this project: It was mid-2013 when I wanted to apply what I've learned from the MOOC CS188.1x Artificial Intelligence offered at edx.org. Around December 2013, I joined a bootcamp held in my university (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) in which some of the speaker came from Mozilla. Here, I learned a lot of stuffs on JavaScript (they also introduced us to HN). Later, I thought of applying what I've learned to a game. I then started the project and finished it during January 2014.

I admit that the AI is not perfect. :)

No need to apologize, even if it's perfect, the first player can always win by playing the right moves.

Nice job, do you recommend the Artificial Intelligence MOOC? Is it fun?

I wrote a C version of a connect 4 AI and used emscripten to build a JavaScript / AngularJS version. You can check it out for comparison: http://rmarcus.info/blog/2014/12/23/connect4.html

Edit --

Github is here: https://github.com/RyanMarcus/connect4

Looks like my AI beats your AI. ;)
