A colorful and engaging Match-3 puzzle game built with Thunde Engine where players swap adjacent crystals to create matches of three or more identical gems.
- Intuitive Controls: Click and swap adjacent crystals using mouse controls
- Match Detection: Automatic detection of horizontal and vertical matches of 3 or more identical crystals
- Score System: Earn points for every successful match with combo potential
- Visual Feedback: Clear visual indicators for selected crystals and valid moves
- Chain Reactions: Cascading matches when crystals fall and create new combinations
- Ensure you have the Thunde Engine installed and properly set up on your system
- A C++ compiler with C++17 support or higher
- Select a Crystal: Click on any crystal to select it
- Swap with Neighbor: Click on an adjacent (up, down, left, right) crystal to swap positions
- Create Matches: Form lines of 3 or more identical crystals
- Score Points: Each match awards points - longer matches and combos yield higher scores
- Watch for Cascades: Matched crystals disappear, allowing new crystals to fall and potentially create chain reactions
