My simple game for coders in lunar new year
By kien_coi_1997, 10 years ago, In English

Happy lunar new year. I've created a small game and hope that you would like it. (for C++ coders only and support Linux and Windows platform). Because of short time, it is not really perfect, but I think it is acceptable.

Screenshot

The letters are being pushed down. You can swap any pair of letters, to create valid C++ keywords (in a line). There are some critical letter (colored red), if it is pushed to the bottom of the table and it is not a letter of a created keyword, you lose 1 HP. There are only 10 HP, the speed is always increased.

Hope that everyone interested in my game.

    I'm not downvoting but I found some possible reasons:

    1. The red color is blinking too fast
    2. I get too much score from just randomly swapping characters.
    3. The game starts too fast and there's no New game button :)

      Thank you :) I will consider these problems in other applications.

    There are 2 problems in your games:

    1. I can earn too much points by doing the same swap again. For example, if I find a correct word CONST, I can swap the letter 'C' with an adjacent letter (execpt the right 'O') many times, and earn many points by that word.
    2. It seems to be difficult to lose the game by moving the red letters to the top of the board.

    I think your game will be more interesting if you can fix that problems. Thank you for reading my comment :)

      I agree!

      I am sure that the game will be ended for several minutes because the speed is always increasing.
