Description:

Welcome to Cone-nect 3, a game of strategy, timing, and teamwork (or betrayal 👀)!
You and two friends take turns placing traffic cones on a roadwork-themed grid, aiming to connect 3 cones of your colour in a row – horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

The road is full of potholes – and covering them with your cones earns you points:

• 🕳️ Small Pothole = +1 point

• 🕳️ Large Pothole = +2 points

🕹️ Controls:

• Players take turns using the same keyboard.

• Press keys 1 to 7 to select a column (or use left and right arrows). 

• Press SPACEBAR to drop your cone.

• Press R anytime to reset the game.

Each player is assigned a unique cone colour, and turns cycle in the order:
Player 1 (red)→ Player 2 (blue)→ Player 3 (yellow)→ repeat

🏆 How to Win:

Victory Conditions:

• Connect 3 cones of your colour in any direction to win.

• If there's a tie, the player with the most pothole points wins.

• Or, play competitively for total points and skip the connect-3 condition altogether!
