Next, Nonki added a check routine for four straightly connected same color disks:

But you can not play a game with this program yet...

Nonki rewrote the game AI (very weak) for a vs human mode:
LSM678-3
.
Nonki wrote the logic for Draw, but there is a bug...
Great job, Nonki! The AI is a little easy, but it's still very addicting!
Nonki responded in the comments with the latest version of this game:

Great improvements! The UI is much more of a challenge now!
