Title: Gem master.......a match 3 game project in progress
Post by: hpg678 on May 05, 2017, 08:15:17 am
greetings! I'm in the process of writing a match 3 collapse type puzzler which I intend to within the next few days. it is written entirely in Enigma and for Linux users, though i think it should be compatible with Windows. not sure but will check it out.


I placed a link to a file where it shows the core of the game. you click on the matching color gems and a score is displayed. other features, effects and  mechanics will follow.


I'm interested in any comments, criticisms and such. the code will be open-source for anyone who wants improvise the project. I'm thinking about developing a level editor where one can play their own levels as well as have others play them. Any suggestions on how to get this done would be appreciated.


I also plan on implementing code for game-pad controllers but that will be done at a later date. As of now I'm doing a few levels and making sure the core of the game works.


Anyone interested in helping me out in my project, holler back.


some screenshots to check out:

its just one level with a score system in place and an text effect.



If it asks for a decryption key, this is is

The download says it needs a decryption key to access.

The graphics shown in the screenshots look cool, and well made.

I look forward to trying it out!

Hey, thanks! This key worked.

It's a nice start, and I like the text effects.

Keep up the good work! :D

It's been a while since I last posted on the progress of said project. I've been involved in a whole lot of other things  and i got side tracked. However, I'm back now, at least until those other matters are resolved.

to recap.......Gem master is  a match 3 puzzle game in the style of Collapse where you click on a a chain of 3 or more of the same objects to destroy them. Doing so more objects will fall and create more chains where you do the whole process over until your goal is reached.

Unlike the 'standard' method of creating a match-3 game, this method is quite unique and far more simplistic. However it's limitations is in creating solely 'Collapse' types games.

Here are some screenshots for you.....
