This is a redstone version of Lights Out, a 90s electronic handheld game. You have a 5 by 5 grid of lights, which turn on and off when you press their buttons, but each time you press a button, neighboring lights invert their state. It's a challenging puzzle to solve, either turning all lights off, or all lights on. Sometimes it feels a bit 1 step forward 2 steps back, but don't be fooled, there IS a solution! ;)

This is the latest update to my redstone Lights Out game, using more of the newer redstone blocks added in recent updates, which make the circuit smaller and faster!

I've included both the new version, and the previous version on the map, as well as the structure files for both. Also included the original schematics for the real old version, in case anyone wants that, but I don't know if they still work.

The previous version used pressure pads, so players should be careful not to run too fast over those. Pressing them too quickly, before their signals can reach their neighbors, may break the way the game works, either making it easier or unsolvable.
The new version uses noteblocks, which the player must right-click in order to "press" them like buttons, to activate each tile. As a result, running on the board is no longer a problem, however players should still avoid rapid-clicking on the noteblocks.
There is however a significant benefit to this feature, as quickly double-clicking on a single noteblock, with the correct speed, will reset both itself and it's neighbors to an off state! While this could be used for cheating, that'd be like cheating at solitaire, or breaking apart a Rubik's Cube.. But it IS actually a useful way to reset the game-board, when needed.

Just a WARNING, there does seem to be a bug in minecraft still, which depending on where the Lights Out tiles are placed on the map, sometimes randomly the lower-dropper of the t-flip-flop won't receive redstone power, FROM THE BLOCK RIGHT NEXT TO IT.. When this bug occurs the tile won't properly turn on.. And the only solution I've been able to figure out so far, is to slightly move where I'm putting the entire game, try again, and hope that time it works. :/

Made a new and improved version! Built using the newer redstone blocks (observers, target) added in recent updates, which make the circuit even smaller and faster! Now each game-tile's circuit is only 4x4x6! This version uses noteblocks instead of pressure pads. ;)
