TI-BASIC:Connect 4 2 Player

This is your Basic connect 4 game. Drop Checkers down any of the 7 columns, taking turns until either the board is filled of one player gets four in a row. Try to understand the code. It uses Matrix [A] to track the game board, Var P as one or two to track whose turn it is, V as the input-ed column, L2 as the height of the columns, And Z as the counter for the possible number of turns.
