Match 3 Beaver - A new game I'm working on

[bokalvslund]

Hi. I’ll show a quick demo of my new project in Thunkable.

It’s a match 3 game. I have borrowed the Beaver - given him some nice colors
I won’t publish him in the finished game
Have a great weekend.

Regards Bo

Looks good. 3 questions:

1. How do you detect matches quickly? ie without lag?
2. How do you ensure that during each round the board always has at least one possible match 3?
3. How do you ensure the board at the start of each round has at least one possible match 3?

So far what you have done is very impressive.

Thanks Dean.

Here’s a link to the tutorials I have followed to implement the logic in the game:

How to Make a Game Like Candy Crush with SpriteKit and Swift: Part 1

I have implemented most of part 1 but only a little of part 2.

I have made functions in Thunkable that mimics the behavior in the Objective-C code.

No one thought about using Thunkable beaver for game! It is very creative game!

How do you guarantee always having matches available?

[bokalvslund]

I call a shuffle function until I have at least one possible match.

That’s really good.

Is it fast? Games like Candy Crush are almost instantaneous, but I don’t know how fast Thunkable is.
