Modules: Arena

The Arena slot decides the board: its size, its walls, and whether it scrolls or wraps. One chip. Empty means Grid 16. Ingredient: glass pane. All slots

Chip What it does Recipe (shapeless)
Grid 16 (default) A 16 by 16 board with a wall border and optional obstacles. Blank Chip + glass pane
Grid 32 A 32 by 32 board with a wall border and optional obstacles. Blank Chip + glass pane + glass pane
Ring 24 A 24-wide tube that wraps left to right, with optional pillars. Blank Chip + glass pane + chain
Strip 9 A 9-wide lane that can scroll new wall gates toward the pawn. Blank Chip + glass pane + rail

Grid 16

The house board. A wall runs round the edge.

Setting Default Choices
Obstacles None None, Pillars (a pillar every four cells), Light maze (a few short wall bars placed by the match's seed)

Grid 32

The same board at four times the area. Light maze places more and longer bars than on Grid 16.

Setting Default Choices
Obstacles None None, Pillars, Light maze

Ring 24

A board 24 cells wide and 8 tall with a wall along the top and bottom. The left and right edges join: leave one side and you come back on the other. Up to four players start spread round the ring.

Setting Default Choices
Obstacles None None, Pillars (short wall pairs across the middle)

Strip 9

A lane 9 cells wide with no walls inside; the board's edge is the wall. With scrolling on, the lane moves one row at a time and new rows arrive at the far end: half are open, the rest have a gate of one to three wall cells (never more than three of nine blocked, never two gated rows in a row). A pawn caught by an arriving wall loses a life.

Setting Default Range
Scroll None None, Down, Up
Period (ticks per row) 10 4–40
Length 24 16–32 rows

Odd combinations

  • A 32 by 32 maze with a speed-1 cursor is slow, but it plays.
  • A scrolling Strip 9 with the Stacker pawn scrolls the stack too.
  • A scrolling Strip 9 with the Paddle pawn scrolls the goal lines away — it runs, but it is a joke game.
  • A Paddle on Ring 24: the ball wraps left and right, so it only scores at the top and bottom.
