Connect 4 Agent

This project is a Connect 4 agent that uses a backend solver created in Rust and a frontend UI made with Vue.

Features

Backend Solver:
- Implemented in Rust
- Uses the Minimax algorithm with optimizations such as Alpha-Beta pruning, Iterative Deepening, Move Ordering, Transposition Table, and Opening Database
- Provides efficient and intelligent move selection for the Connect 4 game
Frontend UI:
- Built with Vue.js
- Provides a user-friendly interface for playing Connect 4 against the agent
- Displays the game board, current player, and game status
- Allows users to make moves and interact with the game

To get started with the Connect 4 agent using Docker, follow these steps:

Clone the repository
Run docker compose:
```
$ cd connect4
$ docker-compose up
```
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to access the Connect 4 game.

To get started with the Connect 4 agent, follow these steps:

Build and run the backend solver (in webserver mode):

$ cd connect4/backend
$ cargo run --release compiled_db.bin --webserver

In a new terminal, build and run the frontend UI:

$ cd connect4/frontend
$ npm install
$ npm run dev

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to access the Connect 4 game.

Build and run the backend solver:

$ cd connect4/backend
$ cargo run --release compiled_db.bin
