can i have my original message?

#

oh wait you dmed me it

#

code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/7SCA

i made a negamax function for connect 4. the position im testing it on is this...

              🟡🟡🔴
  🔴      🔴🔴🟡
  🟡      🔴🔴🟡

...where you can clearly tell that column 0 (the first column because its zero-indexed) isn't the best move because yellow has various good moves like playing in the 4th column and then in the 2nd column where if that happens, it's entirely over for red. or they can play 4th column and 5th column, creating two threats which is also very powerful.

i dont get how this doesnt work, and im also quite new to this sort of thing.

(im following this guide)
