Anyway, in the first few lines of the game's code, I specified that I'm using PB 6.12.
Sorry to those using the latest version of PB.

If you add the flag, it will run with both.

Thanks SPH for sharing, I love this game (and my highscore isn't nearly as high as NicTheQuick's).

In my opinion there's no need for an animation for the new tiles, but that's...my opinion. (well actually it distracts me almost to the point that it hurts my eyes...) For the time beeing I changed flash=1 to flash=0 - so thanks for not just providing the compiled program but also giving the source code.

I never offered the compiled file.

For the new piece to flash, we need to know where it appears. But okay, I'd reduce its flashing.

EDIT :
v1.1e

Ability to back out 4 moves if you feel stuck (#PB_Key_Back)

@SPH
I think there is a big bug on it:
Your 'move check "down"' works not correct:

a vertical line like: result in: but correct is:

I checked the rollback and there's no error.

But I know what you mean (it's misleading).

To see if there's any error, start the game and move a piece 4 times. Once done, you can rollback 4 times.
Make sure you have 1 piece, then 2 pieces, then 3, then 4.
The rollbacks are fine.

The confusion you're making (I'm sure) is that you play and rollback on 2 or 3 moves. It seems to "mix up" the pieces.

PS: I would make 5 rollbacks instead of 4. It will be in a future version. And now I need to make the animation for moving the pieces. Anyway, it will be in version 1.2.

The count of used Rollbacks should be also shown on the "Highscore" output

No: let's just say that no matter how you win, anything goes.

F5: Save
F6: Load
Back: Move back (up to 5 moves)
Arrow keys
Escape

You have everything you need to progress through the game. See the code in post 1 (v1.1f)
---
The next version will be 1.2 and will include animations of pieces sliding against walls.

The collapsing, as mentioned by IceSoft, still doesn't always work correctly. Particularly when moving down. When 2 same pieces collapse, the remaining pieces stay behind the gap and don't shift further.

v1.1g

Indeed, there was a bug. It's fixed...
And what's more, on line 19, you can change the number of squares!

Enjoy!

Remaining to be done: piece sliding animation (v1.2)

Thx to #NUL and IceSoft

I finally got it!

And this is where it ended:

YEEEES !

Youpiiii

Best score !

A small menu for choose/edit the number of squares will be nice.
Also the used time.

Ideas for "more fun to play"
- Time counter
- Joker stone
- Shuffle function
- ...

Yes, I would make a menu to choose your grill.
