This brings puzzles up-to-date with upstream revision 2d333750272c3967cfd5cd3677572cddeaad5932, though certain changes made by me, including cursor-only Untangle and some compilation fixes remain. Upstream code has been moved to its separate subdirectory and future syncs can be done by simply copying over the new sources. Change-Id: Ia6506ca5f78c3627165ea6791d38db414ace0804

<h1><a name="C13"></a>Chapter 13: <a name="i0"></a>Same Game</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You have a grid of coloured squares, which you have to clear by highlighting contiguous regions of more than one coloured square; the larger the region you highlight, the more points you get (and the faster you clear the arena).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you clear the grid you win. If you end up with nothing but single squares (i.e., there are no more clickable regions left) you lose.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Removing a region causes the rest of the grid to shuffle up: blocks that are suspended will fall down (first), and then empty columns are filled from the right.

<h2><a name="S13.1"></a>13.1 <a name="i1"></a>Same Game controls</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This game can be played with either the keyboard or the mouse.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you left-click an unselected region, it becomes selected (possibly clearing the current selection).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you left-click the selected region, it will be removed (and the rest of the grid shuffled immediately).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you right-click the selected region, it will be unselected.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The cursor keys move a cursor around the grid. Pressing the Space or Enter keys while the cursor is in an unselected region selects it; pressing Space or Enter again removes it as above.

<h2><a name="S13.2"></a>13.2 <a name="i2"></a>Same Game parameters</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
These parameters are available from the ‘Custom...’ option on the ‘Type’ menu.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl><dt>
|
|
<em>Width</em>, <em>Height</em>
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Size of grid in squares.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
<em>No. of colours</em>
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Number of different colours used to fill the grid; the more colours, the fewer large regions of colour and thus the more difficult it is to successfully clear the grid.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
<em>Scoring system</em>
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Controls the precise mechanism used for scoring. With the default system, ‘(n-2)^2’, only regions of three squares or more will score any points at all. With the alternative ‘(n-1)^2’ system, regions of two squares score a point each, and larger regions score relatively more points.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>
|
|
<em>Ensure solubility</em>
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
If this option is ticked (the default state), generated grids will be guaranteed to have at least one solution.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you turn it off, the game generator will not try to guarantee soluble grids; it will, however, still ensure that there are at least 2 squares of each colour on the grid at the start (since a grid with exactly one square of a given colour is <em>definitely</em> insoluble). Grids generated with this option disabled may contain more large areas of contiguous colour, leading to opportunities for higher scores; they can also take less time to generate.
