//! Connect Four game implementation
//!
//! Connect Four is a two-player strategy game played on a 7×6 vertical grid.
//! Players take turns dropping pieces into columns, with pieces falling to the
//! lowest available position. The first player to get four pieces in a row
//! (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) wins.
//!
//! See [`Game`] for the main game interface.

/// A Connect Four game instance
///
/// The game is played on a 7×6 vertical board where two players alternate dropping
/// pieces into columns. Player0 always goes first. The game ends when a player gets
/// four pieces in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) or when the board
/// is full (resulting in a draw).
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// # use gamie::connect_four::Game;
/// let mut game = Game::new().unwrap();
///
/// // Player0's turn - drop piece in column 3
/// game.put(3).unwrap();
///
/// // Player1's turn - drop piece in column 2
/// game.put(2).unwrap();
///
/// // Continue playing...
