1010! is a single player, tile-based, puzzle game produced by Gram Games, played on a square grid of 10x10 cells. The player is presented with a random selection of tile patterns of various shapes, 3 at a time, which are to be placed on the board, one by one. If the tiles consume an entire row (or column), without any empty cells in between, the row (or column) is cleared up so that more tiles can be placed. Each cell consumed by the tile counts towards the score of the game. The aim is to place as many tiles as possible to increase the score. In its most simplest form, each cell adds 1 point to the score. A variation of the game can be to assign different points for each color.
The game logic is written in Ruby and has only one dependency which can be installed by:
$ gem install gosuThis in turn has more dependencies and will require you to compile/install them as described here. Needs gcc or similar compiler.
After successful installation of gosu, you can simply clone the code for the game:
$ git clone git@github.com:shanko/1010.git1.0
$ ruby game_1010.rbClick on one of the tiles presented on the right side of the 10x10 grid. The tile will turn yellow indicating selection. Then click on one of the empty cells in the grid where you want to place the tile. Keep on adding tiles to the grid till one or more rows or columns fill up. Filled up rows and columns get emptied again making space for more tiles to be placed. The idea is to try and keep as many tiles as possible to increase the score.
