Connect four using two Arduino's

Hello there!

I have found a connect four game made in Processing,
But I have to make it a two player game using two laptops and two Arduino's.
I just do not know how to do it. I can't find it anywhere how to do it.

My goal is to, if I place a piece in the game, it gets sent to the Arduino, which sends it to the other Arduino and then sends it to the other laptop so the other player can see where I placed the piece. Then the other player should be able to do the same thing

Do I need an Arduino code in order to make it work, or should I be able to program it all in processing?
Me help! Please! I've been trying to make it work for way too long. :smiley:

I attached the code of the connect four game.

Microsoft offer a free connect 4 game as a download - 2 player , but on one Device.

I don't understand the need for the Arduino in all of this. Two laptops can talk to each other without any Arduino. What purpose is the Arduino serving?

I know I do not need an Arduino but I'm trying to learn how to make them communicate.
I'm a first-year electrical engineering student and I think it would be a useful thing to learn.
But I'm just wondering if what I want to achieve is possible using just one Processing code.

Delta_G:
The secret to a big project like this is to break it down into small pieces. Don't start out trying to make a connect four game. Start out by identifying one small thing that this game has to be able to do and focus on getting just that small piece to work.

Thank you for the advice by the way! :smiley:

What is wrong with a two player game using just one Arduino?
