We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope. |

Connect 4 is one of those rare TI-Basic games that utilizes smart AI, which is important when you want to play a game, but there is nobody around to play it with. Unlike other Connect 4 clones with simple AI, where you can beat it fairly easily, the AI in this game not only doesn't any mistakes, but you need to get it into a double-bind situation in order to win (meaning you can win multiple ways at one time, but the AI can only cover any one of them each turn; just like in tic-tac-to).
In terms of gameplay, Connect 4 only provides the 1player versus AI game mode, which means that you can get tired of playing the game after a while. However, if you get tired of playing the game, you can always study the code to better learn how to put together you own Connect 4 game :D The game controls are very simple: left and right to move the cursor, and 2nd/ENTER to drop a piece down one of the slots. The game ends when somebody gets four pieces in a row, or all of the spots on the board are filled up.
