Connect-Four

A recreation of the popular game of Connect-Four featuring an AI player with multiple difficulties. This web app was built purely using Rust and WebAssembly. We used Rocket as the backend framework, Yew as the frontend framework, and Cargo-Web as the build tool. Check out this sweet video for more details!
