would a connect 4 game really be hard to make with like a 5x5 board if you make it from scratch and without the help of some premade libraries? need an answer asap cause i need to decide whether i would continue with my connect 4 game or change it

Is relatively simple.
You can output a 5x5 board and label each box as coordinates.
Then you take turns asking for user input -- given at least 2 players play.
00 01 02 03
10 11 12 13
20 21 22 23
30 31 32 33
Say I want to put an X or O in a the top left it could be 00 or top middle 01...etc
Then you would run your algorithm for checking who first connects 4 wins.

thx for the quick reply, when i showed the game to my professor she said she would permit me to present it if i would make it without using other libraries and that in turn would make long if statements. i think i should just go for

Yes, you can make this without using other libraries and yes it would turn out to be a long if statement.
