connect 4 game project
alright, I'm new to java and this is my first major program. I realize it is not anywhere near complete yet. Please do not suggest other ways of doing my code, I know it's not the greatest way of doing it, but I don't care right now.
This is a shorterned version of my code, since my full code is a little long, this code is only for the first column.
Right now, what I'm having problems with is my Turn method, which is supposed to switch from red to blue every turn. It works sometimes but not all of the time.
Please ignore all the other problems I have with my code, right now I just need help with the turn method.
