Hi Guys, I’m stuck with some game logic and just cant figure it out, can someone please help??? Scenario: The game consists of matching pieces of the same type and removing them from screen, sort of like a “Match 3” game, but instead of 3 you can match more than 3 of the pieces as long as they connect and of the same type. The game grid is saved in an array which stores row and column position. I need to go through the array and verify if the pieces are together and if more than 3 are connected then they will be removed from the screen. Examples: X’s should be removed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 **X** 0 0 0 0 0 0 **X** 0 0 0 0 0 0 **X X X X** 0 0 * * * 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 **X X** 0 0 0 0 0 0 **X X X** 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 I have tried several different ways but I’m burned out, cant think no more Attached is the test FLA I’m using to figure out the logic. Usage: Compile and the click on the squares, after the 4th in a row the pieces return to their original state. But if you have 3 in a row, and then 2 in a row on another column or row the 5 will disappear and only when connected they should disappear. I hope I’m clear, Please help, I’m desperate! Thanks!!!
