Machine Features: 
  • You can play Tic Tac Toe :D
  • Reset the screen,
  • and see whether X or O is next!

My secret to this machine is pistons+copper bulbs and observer spam XD

How To Use: 
  1. Push the cherry button labeled reset to, well, reset the screen...
  2. Push the polished blackstone buttons (that are positioned at the top left corner of each segment) to place either an X or an O depending on what the copper bulb (at the top right of the build) says.
  3. Rinse and repeat!

This build is much better than most starter TTTs I have seen on the server. Small and simple. For Tinkerer rank, we tend to expect some additional logic beyond the turn-switching logic present.
Some things you could try adding (does not have to be all):
- Win detection
- Overwriting prevention (can't place a turn in a cell that is already filled)
- Delayed auto reset on win (and even tie if you think you can do it)

I would recommend using WorldEdit to copy and paste your design rather than editing the original. It's good practice to keep the unmodified design for reference when making changes, just in case you did something that breaks the machine.

Going to keep this PR open unless you decide that you want to try something else. I would rather save you the time writing an identical PR. Just ping a staff member or me on the Discord, or use /mail in-game to let us know when/if you made any changes :)
