Currently, we display hover/focus states on locations with existing pieces, and then display an error when a person tries to place a piece there:

Instead, our hover/focus should make it clear that there's no interactivity to be expected when clicking on a location with an existing piece. If we do that well, then no error should be necessary. Clicking will just do nothing and that will be enough of an indication that you can't put a piece there.

This can be considered alongside #3 to see what the ideal set of combined hover/focus behaviors should look like.

This would help indicate that the board is no longer interactive.

It may be best to address this after #3, since that will likely change how the hover states work.

Hello,

I love your project on Connect 4, but I can't legally use it because there isn't an open source license attached.

Could you please add a license you feel is appropriate to your repository?

Thanks!

Like this (instead of our current practice of highlighting the icon under the cursor):

(note: as part of this, we should also change the cursor to a pointer when over interactive elements)

We should be able to do something like this on focus too.

Hi @bryanbraun - Long time no see! I just ran into this on a Google search looking up the connect four clone I also made in JS. Figured I'd say hi :-). We should play Connect Four sometime! Hit the following invite URL in Beaker Browser and send me the invite back!

Some content for the rules already exists in the "description" meta tag.

Ideas:

• Make the rules really succinct and just put them somewhere on the page.
• It could be a link next to the "source code" link, that opens the rules in a separate modal or popup window.
• Add a Details / Summary accordion for a really simple implementation. Maybe it could go below the playing grid and have a + icon next to it to show that it can be expanded/collapsed?

They are annoying. People should be able to input their names in a less annoying way.
