Game question

[Dlobr]

back when I used to do forums we had a game called connect 4 that we used to do, was wondering if anyone knows how to make that game?. It consisted of making a table and using tiny emoji smileys.

Hope someone here can help, thanks!

Hey there, firstly welcome to Forum Promotion 🙂

Secondly, games can be posted over in the "Forum Games" subforum listed under "Intellectual Talk" There you can make your thread game threads.

In reference to your particular question, it seems people used symbol characters to make a grid and people copy and pasted this below but putting an emoji in a square, am I correct? 😛

Hope this helps, and hope you enjoy your time here

So we are talking about programming here then? HTML and JavaScript based game.


@Dlobr Thread moved to the correct board.

They use the table icon in a post to make the board game for it,I have no idea how,how many rows etc,anybody who has been with forums a long time,I'm hoping,can help me,I would love to add the game to my forum.

Sorry @Dlobr not too sure what that is, but hope you find out. Sounds interesting!

You could probably do a table though, depending on the software tables can be done. This is what I found for proboards.

Insert Table
You can add a table to your post using the following tags: [table][tr][td] [/td][/tr][/table] – This is a template for a one column / one row table. Adding your content between the [td] [/td] tags of this code will put your content in the one column / one row table. Example:

[table][tr][td]Box One[/td][/tr][/table]

This configuration will put the words Box One in a table that has one row and one column. Inserting tables in message board postings can be useful for displaying ordered data.

Insert Table Row
You can expand a table embedded into a post to add another row using the following tags: [tr] [/tr] – The Insert Table Row function must be used in conjunction with the Insert Table tag as the [tr] [/tr] tags will not function by themselves. Example:

[table][tr][td]Box One[/td][/tr][tr][td]Box Two[/td][/tr][/table]

This formatting will generate a two row table with Box One in the top row, and Box Two in the bottom row. The [tr] [/tr] tags must always be nested inside the [table] [/table] tags but should never appear in between the [td] [/td] tags.

Insert Table Column
You can also expand a table embedded into a post to add another column to the table, this is done with the following tags: [td] [/td] – The Insert Column function must be used in conjunction with the Insert Table tag as the [td] [/td] tags will not function by themselves. Example:

[table][tr][td]Box One[/td][/tr][tr][td]Box Two[/td][td]Box Three[/td][/tr][/table]

This formatting will generate a two row table and, a second column in the second row where the text Box Three will be displayed. The [td] [/td] tags should always be nested inside a set of [tr] [/tr] tags.

So with that I think you'd want something like:

[table][tr][td]Box One[/td][/tr][tr][td]Box Two[/td][td]Box Three[/td][/tr][/table]

Thank you but I don't remember how many rows the game even has. Surprised that old timers on here don't know,it was such a popular game back in the day.
