Python 3.6
Requriements
 Print all real numbers to 2 decimal points unless stated otherwise
 
Restrictions
 No global variables may be used
 Your main function may only declare variables and call other functions
 
Description
Write a program to implement the game connect-n. Connect-n is like Connect-4 but the size of the board the number of pieces in a row needed to win are user parameters. If you have never played Connect-4 before you can play it here: https://www.mathsisfun.com/games/connect4.html. The basic gist of the game is that each player takes a turn dropping one of their pieces into a column. Pieces land on top of pieces already played in that column. Each player is trying to get n pieces in a row either veritcally, horizontally or diagonally. The game ends if either player gets n pieces in a row or the board becomes full.
 
Additional Details:
 The first 3 inputs specify thte game to be played. They will be entered in the following order
 The number of rows on the board
 The number of columns on the board 
 The number of pieces in a row needed to wi 
 It is ok if the number of pieces in a row is larger than what can fit on a board
 For example on a 3 X 3 board it is ok for the number of pieces in a row needed to win to be 100
 Player 1's pieces are represented by X
 Player 2's pieces are represented by O
 Capital Oh, not zero
 Player 1 always plays first
 If the user enters an invalid input your program should continue to ask them for input until valid input is entered
 After the game is over a winner should be declared if there is one and if there is no winner a tie should be declared
 
Assumptions
 Input will not always be valid
 If invalid input is entered your program should continue to ask for input until valid input is entered
 
Valid Input
 Number of rows
An integer greater than 0
 Number of columns 
An integer greater than 0
 Number of pieces in a row needed to win 
An integer greater than 0
 User Move
An integer specifying a column between 0 and the number of columns - 1 that is not already full
 
 
Hints
 You will want to break your problem down into logical steps before begninning on it.
 Each of these steps will become a function
 Each of these steps might have steps within them so you should create functions here as  well to help break down the problem even farther
 Once you get to small enough step go ahead and solve it
 You can draw a lot of inspiration from tic tac toe
 Here are some of the functions  
get_game_attributes 
make_empty_board, display_board
play_connectn, get_move, is_valid_move
game_over, game_won, row_win, col_win, diag_win, right_diag_win, left_diag_win
