+# Connect 4 Bot
+
+## Description
+A connect-4 game implemented entirely by ACM students, with the addition of a bot against which the players can play.
+> Primary contributor: Jaden Jefferson
+
+### Purpose
+This project was created as a learning experience, and has since been used as a demonstration of some of our projects at ACM tabling events. More recent changes have tended to be for the purpose of the latter, as of 2025/04/21.
+
+### Details
+The bot has a variety of difficulties, determined by how deep it searches. This can be changed in code, but does not have a GUI or CLI way to change it, as of 2025/04/21.
+<br>The bot is run by calling the python file on either the CLI or within your IDE.
+
+## Future changes
+A way to change the difficulty without editing the code
