[Down-n-Out]]Moving into white space
Breif question.

Should the script always move into white spaces by going down then right? And am I correct in assuming that you can move the blocks right and not down?

No. You should always collapse the grid if it can be collapsed.

RE: [Down-n-Out]]Moving into white space
So if you have a grid like so

12323
23233
12323

And I took the row of 3's out, it would go just right correct? It should try to move down and to the right whenever possible?

RE: [Down-n-Out]]Moving into white space
I have some doubt about this too....

Let me try to show...

123 33
123344
3211 3

Is this possible? Can there be any white spaces? Or?

And another thing


33222
4433
423

Will look like this in a grid.. right?
---------------------
| 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
---------------------
| 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | ... |
---------------------
| 4 | 2 | 3 | ... | ... |
---------------------

Right or?

RE: [Down-n-Out]]Moving into white space
If you have some troubles to visualize the game, take a look to this link, where you can play it online (in JavaScript):
http://www.sunncity.com/Games2/samegame/

This game is also known as SameGame.

RE: [Down-n-Out]]Moving into white space
the javascript is not realy the same as it does not collapse to the right

12323
23233
12323

should go as this as i understand it (X means empty)

1232X
232XX
1232X

first collapse down

123XX
2322X
1232X

then collapse right

XX123
X2322
X1232

-----------------------------------
If the sample had been

12323
23223
12323

then collapsing down would result in no change and it would look like youre only collapsing right

1232X
2322X
1232X

This example given by marcel is correct.

RE: [Down-n-Out]]Moving into white space
Since Matt confirmed Marcel's example, the rules are now clear :-)

BTW, here are more links for samegame:
http://www.ix.sakura.ne.jp/~art/joint/samegame/
(online game with highscores, the highest scores have been found by programs !)
http://www.segaswirl.com/

I played it also on the online Yahoo Games.

RE: [Down-n-Out]]Moving into white space
A word of warning...be sure to follow the rules on the contest page here and not the rules of any other game you may find online. You could find that they differ...

No, you get:

X123X
X2322
X1232


The first is correct. You should push as far right on all rows as possible.

Well, first this would have to be collapsed before removing another tile:

X1323
X2233
12323

Then you ask what happens if the 3's on the right hand side are removed?

X132X
X22XX
1232X

then collapsed down:

X13XX
X222X
1232X

then right:

XXX13
XX222
X1232

RE: [Down-n-Out]]Moving into white space
Lets say we have

1223
2123
1123

and we delete :

1XX3
21X3
11X3

after collapsing down and right we should have :

XX13
X213
X113

OR :

X1X3
X213
X113

What i am trying to say is this : When we are collapsing to right we move each tile separately or whole collumns? I believe seperately but just trying to clarify.

RE: [Down-n-Out]]Moving into white space
Just one more doubts
I collapse to right just when I have a blank colum, or each time its possible.

example:
1221
2123
1133

- removing 2:
1xx1
21x3
1133

- collapsing down:
noting to do

- collapsing right:
xx11
x213
1133
or
stay as is, cause the colum is not empty.
1xx1
21x3
1133

then if I remove 3:
1xx1
21xX
11XX

collapse down:
1xxX
21xX
11X1

now I can colapse right cause the colum is full empty
XX1X
X21X
X111

Wich way it the corret one? so many games saw at internet make me confused!

sorry my poor english
