Sand Loop Level 430 Solution

Step 1: Direct sand into the leftmost container.

Draw a horizontal line extending from the sand release point towards the opening of the first (leftmost) container. Ensure it creates a smooth path.

Sand flows directly into the leftmost container.

Step 2: Direct sand into the middle container and block its right exit.

Draw a long, slightly slanted line starting from the right side of the platform above the middle container, extending downwards into the container's opening. This line should also act as a wall on the right.

Sand flows into the middle container and does not fall off the right edge.

Step 3: Guide overflowing sand from the middle container towards the rightmost container.

Draw a short, curved line just below the right exit of the middle container, directing any exiting sand towards the opening of the third (rightmost) container.

Sand exiting the middle container begins to travel towards the rightmost container.

Step 4: Ensure sand exiting the leftmost container continues to flow to the right.

Draw a short, slightly upward-slanted line from the exit of the leftmost container, guiding the sand flow horizontally towards the right, potentially towards the path leading to the middle/rightmost containers.

Sand successfully exits the leftmost container and continues moving right.

Step 5: Fully enclose and guide sand into the rightmost container.

Draw a final line on the right side of the rightmost container, extending from the platform above down into its opening. This completes the channel for sand flowing from the left and provides a right wall for the container.

All remaining sand is directed into the rightmost container, completing the level.

Q: What is the optimal order to draw the lines?

A: The video suggests drawing lines in a general left-to-right flow, focusing on securing each container's input path before moving to the next. The lines should connect and redirect sand flow effectively.

Q: How do I make sure all sand is collected?

A: Carefully draw lines to form enclosed channels that guide all sand into the containers. Pay attention to overflow from early containers and redirect it to later ones. Make sure lines extend far enough to catch all particles.
