Connect-Four.cpp

/*
This program applies a simple take to the classic game of Connect-Four.
This program creates a board (same size as orginal board) and a number under each column.
User selects which column they would like to place, either their X or their O, and a little
animation plays as the peice drops to the bottom most tile possible.
This is all displayed through a terminal console window.
