  MiniConnect4 brings the classic Connect Four game back to the Amiga,
  enhanced with modern online features, a three-level AI opponent, 
  and a flexible lobby infrastructure. It runs as a native Workbench 
  application in classic Amiga style and offers local matches, computer 
  games, and online duels through a lobby.

  For quick online play, a public lobby server is available. 
  This means MiniConnect4 can be used online right away: players can 
  see others in the lobby, send game invitations, and start matches. 
  If you prefer more control, you can also run your own lobby, 
  either on a local network or over the Internet. The included server
  component runs on Linux systems and is well suited for small devices 
  such as a Raspberry Pi.

  MiniConnect4 also includes a playable computer opponent with three 
  difficulty levels, so you can practice offline or enjoy a quick game 
  at any time. Online games support chat, invitations, and rematches. 
  After a match, both players can immediately agree to play again. 
  Chip colors remain assigned to the same players, while the winner 
  of the previous game starts the rematch.

  MiniConnect4 is designed for AmigaOS 1.3, keeps resource usage modest, 
  and uses classic Intuition menus and windows. Colors, language, and 
  game mode can be configured directly inside the program.
