match3

To build a match-3 game architecture in Unity, implement C# classes for BoardModel, MatchDetector, CascadeSystem, and ObjectiveTracker. This structure cleanly separates grid management, match logic, and level progression to orchestrate a maintainable game loop.

Handling match detection and cascading tiles requires robust detection of horizontal, vertical, and intersecting matches paired with gravity and refill loops. The cascade system iteratively resolves all matches until the grid stabilizes.

You can implement special tiles and combo scoring by defining nine tile types including striped, wrapped, and color bombs. The architecture supports chain mechanics to calculate and accumulate multipliers across the grid.

Match-3 level objectives and lives energy systems work by integrating an ObjectiveTracker to monitor scoring and progression toward win or lose conditions. The architecture continuously evaluates these conditions within a dependency-injection-enabled game loop.

The match-3 grid system is designed to be dependency injection friendly, utilizing DI-enabled components to orchestrate swaps, cascades, and evaluations. This approach ensures a clean separation between the board model and the game view.
