Going to implement better shuffle-checking mechanic: accurate & efficient

Explanation:

First job will filter pad that needs to be marked for possible swap area, done in initial gameplay and executed only once.

Second job check possible swap for candies during the gameplay. One sensor checking in horizontal manner and another one checking in vertical manner.

Great job!!!

I played your demo and I find it pretty amazing!

One question though, why does it shuffle all the candies so often? and what triggers this shuffle?

Thank you exalted for your observation. I realized that the previous possible-swap checking was not perfect so I am working on this issue. An update will fix the unexpected shuffle for certain.

If you encountered a problem with unresponsive match, try to change event 30 look into 'wait 2*dt seconds' then change the value into 'dt' or completely remove it. Thanks.

There's a feature on some match3 games known as "chaining". You drag your finger over matches, which could be 4, 5, or more, and a line visually connects your selections. Could you implement that in this template, or rather a separate product?

A visual cue for lining up matches right? Yes it would be possible to bring that to next update. To detect a match we just need utilize flood-fill. Basically flood-fill is well-known for all purpose techniques in major puzzle games.
