Connect4 for the Xbox.
User guide
The game is played on an upright seven column board. Each column has six spots.
Two players play by alternately dropping a chip down one of the columns.
The chip drops to the lowest unoccupied spot in that column.
The first player to get four chips in a row, either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, wins.
The game ends in a stalemate if it fills before someone wins.

Changelog
V1.1
- Added network support.
- You can now play connect4 over the internet.
- One player must host then the other player can join.
- The host must have some sort of TCP port farwarding on the router/PC. So the Client can connect to your Xbox.
- It is using blocking winsocks. This makes the game look frozen when it isn't your move.
- Also when the player disconnects from the game. You will have to reboot your Xbox as it will just sit there waiting for the next move. I tried to to stop this but couldn't.
- This is my first winsock/internet project and it was fun so expect more of the same.
- I have to look into non-blocking socks as I think is sux a bit with it freezing all the time.
