Chapter 16 Exercise 31, Introduction to Java Programming, Tenth Edition Y. Daniel LiangY.

16.31 (Game: connect four)
Programming Exercise 8.20 enables two players to play the
connect-four game on the console. Rewrite a GUI version
for the program, as shown in Figure 16.49c. The program
enables two players to place red and yellow discs in turn.
To place a disk, the player needs to click an available cell.
An available cell is unoccupied and its downward neighbor is
occupied. The program flashes the four winning cells
if a player wins and reports no winners if all cells
are occupied with no winners.
