  Ah yes that caused by random candies at start of level. I made the system better, user can pre-laid candies as they wish. You can partially put candies and the empty places will be taken by random candies. Full or not is up to user how they arrange those candies.

  Red is easy to look

  Green is more strobing

  Blue feels more safe

  Orange gives more energy

  Brown is warm color

  Black is just good to go

  Combine colors to get certain effect. Opposite colors give contrast & separation, Analogous colors are easy to match. Playing with saturation make the shading deeper.

  Ah I see. Little bit hard for mouse to swipe out. Maybe add some trails following the triangle as it moves.

  Is this somekind of pathfinding demo? Not sure if there is an instruction to play it. Maybe some items on screen, wall, power up.

  Hi YoHoho thanks for your interest to this thread

  Yes I have been doing some observation to many puzzle games especially match-3. Each match-3 games share common things, yet they have different feel when you play them.

  For example Candy Crush need the player to swipe over 2 pieces meanwhile Farm Heroes has more flexible control, swipe or tap both are working. Combo/special piece also has different rule. Some games will transform a piece into special one and some other will just add extra attribute into a back plate.

  So I pick some features from one and some elements from other and make it my own. The core system alone is complex, changing main rule would be broken some mechanics.

  What can be customize are layout design (play-shape arena), score goal, item goal. change graphics (obviously). I would like to add level editor but it is more important to ensure stability.

  Next update: combo pieces for extra crush!

  I have looked at the capx and it is hard dealing with familiy when you are using DragDrop behaviour too.

  So we need extra condition dealing with this behaviour to make your code works with some modification.

  For some reason family instance variable doesn't work like I expected. But I manage to work around the code:

  snapping_back

  Deck snapping is working now. Hope it helps.

  Demo update: fix diagonal movement >> updated link is always in first post or click here

  Took me quite extra time to solve diagonal movement to get correct. The trouble comes when it come to picking which block need to slide down and fill the empty pad or which direction a block need to slide to. By utilizing negative value (-1) this problem is handle elegantly that acts as a switch & chooser

  

  So by applied this method gives us more dynamic slide movement since there is a cance to pick left side or right side.

  

  This one I called a candy machine
