Connect 4 is a two player, zero-sum, symetrical connection game, in which players take turns dropping one coloured disc from the top into a seven-column, six-row grid. The pieces fall straight down, occupying the lowest available space within the column. The objective of the game is to be the first to form a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line of four of one's own discs.
Fun fact: Connect 4 is a solved game. The first player is guaranteed to win by playing the right moves.

Use gym.make to pass a specific parameterization. For instance: gym.make('Connect4-v0', height=6, width=9, connect=2)
