📜 Description
I recently took on the challenge of learning Rust and, in a bid to take my own advice, I am trying to consolidate my learning by get my hands dirty and using it in personal projects. Connect 4 is a great challenge - simple enough to be coded in one afternoon, but complex enough that it takes some thought to do well.
