Usage:
-- Windows: run bin/ConnectFour.exe executable

Controls:
The player is red and always starts first. Choose the row into which you want to insert your token with keys '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7' on your keyboard.
The AI is blue and will think about its move for 10 seconds before performing it.
The game screen will change colors when the game is over: red means player wins, blue means AI wins, purple means draw.
Press 'r' to reset the game.
The screen will flash briefly when you try to perform an illegal move.
The game code consists of four modules:
-- UserInterface - handles GUI and displaying gamestate on screen
-- LevelManager - board representation and modification
-- AIManager - Artificial intelligence logic
-- GameManager - main game loop, communication between other modules
File setup.py creates an executable version for Windows using py2exe module.
