Hello! This is my first post, so please excuse any issues with the formatting.
I am very new to coding and am trying to teach myself python. I've been working on a connect 4 game, and there is a bug that causes the little circle to be partially hidden when you click and the congratulations text to be hidden. There is also something small at the bottom, the 'holes' for the pieces to fall into don't come all the way to the bottom of the 'board'. It's nothing big, but I would like to know if anyone has any ideas to fix this :) Thank you!!
This is the code, below, and the link to the site to see it on.

So a few notes---

So a few notes---
- Where the 'piece' should be, there will be a 1 or a 2. It makes the computer see what they should put on.
- In case something goes wrong, the beta version can be put into this script and the video can rewind starting at 31:31. Continue from there.
- Pass is a placeholder. It allows you to run your program without errors and its for when you know you need somehting, don't know how to build it yet, but need it.
- To indent a large amount of code while keeping formatting, select it and push tab as many times as is needed. Good lord, I'm so stupid.
