###Instructions

• Using left and right arrow for moving the token.
• Use up / down arrow or spacebar to drop token

Game is turn based. Winning condition is checked after every move. Once there is a winner, the token stays either red or blue. For fun, the winning player can fill up the board if they wish.

Testing

see spec/models/game_spec.rb

rake db:test:prepare
rake spec

Internal Mechanics

Only table being used is Games Winning condition is checked everytime a valid move is played. A winner can continue adding tokens.
