HOW TO PLAY

www.woodpeckerstudios.co
Introduction

• 4-bit is a two-player game, with one player


being 0 and the other player being 1.
Player-0 and Player-1, Binary!

• The first player to connect four of their


numbers(0 or 1), horizontally, vertically, or
diagonally, wins the game!

• If all the cells of the main grid have been


filled and neither player has four numbers in a
row, the game is a tie.

• Player-0 starts the game, with players taking


alternate turns.
The Game Window
The Input Grid: Two rows, eight columns.
Just above the main grid. Red is 0, green is 1.

Dotted Circles: The


selected logic gates
are dropped here.

player-1’s
player-0’s inventory inventory
(currently player-0’s turn)
The Main Grid: A standard 7x6
connect-4 grid. No twists!

The Inventories:

• Each player has their own inventory of logic gates.

• The game starts with 3 gates chosen at random in each


player’s inventory. The gates are the same in both
inventories.

• Once all the gates in both the inventories are used up,
the inventories are restocked with 3 randomly chosen
gates. The restocked gates are the same in both
inventories.
Gameplay
A turn consists of the player dragging a logic gate from
their inventory onto any one of the dotted circles, right
above the main grid.

THAT’S IT- ONE STEP!

Dropping a logic gate!

Before the gate is dropped

GATE DROPPED

The cells from the bottom row of the two


1 columns just above the dotted circle are
taken as the inputs for the logic gate.

The inputs are processed by the logic gate,


with the output being dropped in the column in
the main grid right below it.
2 The number falls to the bottommost empty row
in the column. (just like normal connect-4)
This is how you drop numbers in the main grid
and are supposed to connect four in a row!

The bottom row cells are empty


3 now, so the two cells just above
drop down to the bottom row.

With the top row cells being empty now,


they’re randomly assigned 0 or 1.
4 It is now the next player’s turn, and
the gate shifts back to a dotted circle.
