IMPORTANT: DO NOT GO TO ANOTHER TAB WHEN WAITING FOR THE AI. SCRATCH WILL AUTOMATICALLY PAUSE AND THIS WILL MAKE THE AI TAKE EN EXTREMELY LONG TIME, LONGER IF YOU JUST WAITED IT OUT. It will only take a minute or two if you listen to this. Also, PLEASE wait until the "You Lost!", "You Won!" or "It's a Tie" screen show up to save if you lost or not into the cloud. Yep, I added cloud stats. :) Anyways, (scroll down for real instructions :P) This is it! Connect Four with Mr. AI! In case you don't know how to play, here are the instructions: -(NEW!) Choose if you or the AI goes first by pressing the key 1 or 2 respectively in the very beginning of the game. -Control the pointer on the top of the screen with your arrow keys. -Once you have the pointer where you want it to be, press space to place your checker. -Wait for Mr. AI to make his move. -Try to connect four of your checkers together (vertically, diagonally or horizontally) by placing them in their strategic columns. -You go first as the red player. - I would also suggest looking at how you lost or won before you just restart. xD -After the game's over, look at the ☁ variable on the top left of the screen to see how much of the time Mr. AI won! -Press "z" to show the statistics. Release key to hide it.
IF YOU THINK IT WON UNFAIRLY, PLEASE LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT IT TO MAKE SURE. SOMETIMES IT MAKES SOME 4 IN A HIDDEN PLACE READ: (It isn't that long, mostly version history :P.) -AI VS AI: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/84527382/ -NEW STUFF: FULL SCREEN WORKS NOW!!! -LAG? This might help: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/embed/81611394/ -If you like this game, it would be nice if you'd leave a follow for support, and to see any other games I end up making. :) (might make a another Mr. AI game too; comment if you're interested and what game you want me to make! :D ) NOW WITH MUSIC (by me on GarageBand) How do you like it? :) Sorry the quality isn't that good. It's kinda hard to maintain the quality when you upload music to Scratch. :P https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/84527382/ Scratch has some weird glitches, so if you see something weird, it's not, me, but something with Scratch. I think it's a bug in the website. :( Thanks for understanding! :D This is a collaboration between my dad and me. The other collab that we made together is our Tetris game (which was featured): https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/41627584/ Curated by @Bubble103 and Top-Loved on Halloween 2015! :D Have you ever wanted to play connect four but with no one to play with? Try Mr. AI! (Hopefully just as hard as a pretty good player, the intended idea) This is our first attempt at making an AI on scratch. :P Hope it plays well! I am still very constantly updating this game and adding new features. (Sorry if when you want to play it is under construction) Comment for questions, suggestions and bugs! Also please note that we are still in the process of cleaning up, optimization and bug fixes. I also tried making this game as visually pleasing as possible, so I guess you can tell me if I can improve on that also! :) I really appreciate it that you read to the end!
