Self Resetting Connect Four with no Visible Wiring

Improved version: • Connect Four With No V...
Man obsessed with hipster doors attempts to wire a connect 4 minigame.
The goal was to find out if a hipster design is playable at all. I therefore focussed on reducing the time between pressing the note block and the block landing. I didn’t focus on making it compact and the reset can be much faster. Maybe, I'll make another version at some point.
Hipster Layout
The general idea with the layout is that you shoot concrete powder up in the air whilst the already in place column moves down turning the blocks in to falling entities. The concrete powder that is shot up can then move through the column.
I need to drop the columns 2 blocks to leave enough time for the concrete powder to move through all the blocks.
Auto Reset
For the auto reset, I used the gravity block sorting method explained here: • This 0-Tick Machine So... .
Also credit to CT who I think was the first to use the mechanic: www.youtube.com/@ct4995/featured.

what im most impressed with is how it keeps track of where all the red and yellow blocks are and sorts them back out at the end. that is mind blowing.

[@imightbeaperson630]

It doesn't, there's a weird mechanic that allows for the sorting of concrete my color.

[@dann9033]

@@imightbeaperson630 and what mechanic is?

[@michael23b]

Oh this is super cool. I’ve never seen a connect 4 game that throws the new tiles up through the existing stack, so props to you for figuring that out!

[@mattbatwings]

Awesome!

[@Towsti1]

Thanks! Please teach me the ways of compact win detection lol

[@TheGunMasterDigital]

That's super cool! I don't think I've seen many "hipster" games, let alone connect 4.

[@dragoni_penguin]

oh my god that order of entities design is beautiful

[@user-ox3sd8od7i]

That looks so smooth

[@legofan431]

I love your channel, every video is always a well executed and creative idea

[@jmnero4447]

Chef's kiss. This is by far a very clever use of bouncing the newest addition through falling entities. You got a sub from me!

[@PotatoCraft_TMC]

Aight let’s just close this case. Towtsi is the king of hipster

Thanks, king of self sufficient tree farms

No he is the king at imagination and timings

Holy cow i didn't even know you can launch the sand like that. SICK

[@mrmunchkin2181]

Oh wow, this is bloody amazing.

[@SuperLlama88888]

So cool!

[@Drumslayer2994MC]

This is so interesting i love this

[@Fabiolita83]

Oh this is super cool

[@YellowBunny]

Nice!

[@CT4995]

Oh wow! i never would of thought of having it all in the floor. Very impressive! Ive been making some head way on more features and compaction on my designs. maybe we could do a colab some time. who knows lol

[@Towsti1]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing your next version. I'm also working on a updated version of this design. Might be down for a collab some time although I think after I'm ready with the next one I need a break from connect 4 games haha

[@CT4995]

fair enough lol. I even took a crack at trying to add some features to your design like height limiting and spam protection, although didnt get too far. definitely curious what your next version will hold though!

[@hoteny]

I have no idea how people make such devices with literally observers

[@als_pals]

How does the reset know what colour the sand is? Or is it duping/changing ids or something like that with weird falling block magic?

[@Towsti1]

Here's a video explaining how it works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pamukI2ngLaHgMUsi=0KcRfk-EHCcbmc2a

[@ritzkid76]

O-O

[@gileswebinger8147]

Now implement win detection /hj

[@joschawallraff9090]

Actually the first one to make a connect 4 game, that self resets was a german youtuber kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIWuqIWcea9sfa8si=DN2yFKxpD8wIM6IL

[@Towsti1]

Self resetting connect 4 games have been around for a long time. But afaik CT was the first to use this method of sorting. The others store the input sequence in memory or use patched sorting/duplication methods
