Please review their action plans below:

It's been a while since I wanted to jump on doing something with HOPR, and I think this would be a very fun opportunity to do it.
2) ginanisque has applied to start work (Funders only: approve worker | reject worker).

I will have a connect four game ready in about four days. I am currently setting up a local hopr node and so far the process has been seamless. Hope to work with you on this.
3) menezesphill has applied to start work (Funders only: approve worker | reject worker).

I want to work in this Bounty. My plans for this Bounty are to create a Connect Four game that:

1. Connect two peers to play Connect Four;
2. Use HOPR API v2 for channel creation and game data messaging;

And, I would like to extend the functionality of the game to:

3. Allow a third-party node to act like an Escrow, allowing players to bet HOPR tokens. Of course, that would be an extra that I would like to throw in, and only if it sounds interesting enough to the HOPR team.
   4) vividwood has applied to start work (Funders only: approve worker | reject worker).

Hi, I already built hopr-chess, so should be easy to do. I can use hopr-chess as a template for p2p games and add new features.
5) libengd has been approved to start work.

I will make connect four using hopr. I already know how to use hopr so it will not take much time
6) priyanshujha90 has applied to start work (Funders only: approve worker | reject worker).

I want to make Connect four using HOPR mixnet. I read all documentation of HOPR.
7) gall0x has applied to start work (Funders only: approve worker | reject worker).

It will be fun to make Connect Four game using the Hopr protocol !

Hi @libengd Huge apologies. My original response to your PR doesn't seem to have published. I had a question about the extra stipulations for the task:

Play should be on a standard 7x6 board by default, but with the option to specify different dimensions or turn on cylinder rules (where connections can be made across the far left and far right columns).

Were you able to implement this? I couldn't see how to adjust any gameplay settings. But the experience of playing the base game is very smooth and awesome.

Hi @thewanderingeditor, looks like haven't noticed this requirement when I was doing it, sorry. I'll update the code today

[libengd]

@thewanderingeditor repo is updated! Added two sliders for dimensions and cylinder rule :)

[thewanderingeditor]

@libengd Awesome. One thing that would be cool is if the second player could just connect and the settings would be applied automatically. At the moment it's possible for players to connect to the same game but with different settings applied, which gets exciting when one player's board fills up and the other still has spaces :)

Hmm, this is how it should work if I understand you correctly. Can you send screenshot or video of what you mean?

@thewanderingeditor can you follow up with @libengd once you are back from holidays?
