#Project Overview Connect Four is a two-player connection game in which the players first choose a color and then take turns dropping colored discs from the top into a seven-column, six-row vertically suspended grid. The pieces fall straight down, occupying the next 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. There is an option for 2 players to play or if only one player is available then to play against AI. The winner is whoever has a continuous stack of 4 pieces in either a horizontal, vertical or diagonal fashion (e.g. next to each other in one of those directions).

def print_instructions():
Prints instructions.
def print_statistics():

def game_over(board, game_logic):
Checks if the game has ended and handle final output.
