SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you design a complete match-3 puzzle game loop—turning a swipe into tile swaps, match detection, tile clearing, gravity cascades, scoring, and win/loss evaluation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Grid + Tile Definitions: Create a board with typed tiles (normal, striped, wrapped, color bombs, blockers/ice/chain) driven by ScriptableObject-style definitions.
  • Match Detection for Core Patterns: Detect horizontal and vertical 3+ line matches and support merging/intersection logic for L/T shapes via overlap detection.
  • Cascade Loop (Destroy → Gravity → Refill → Re-match): Run repeated cascades until the board settles with no new matches, enabling combo chains.
  • Special Tile Generation & Combo Effects: Produce special tiles based on match size/shape and apply enhanced effects for special-to-special or special-to-regular combinations.
  • Game State Gating for Input Safety: Enforce a state machine so player input is only accepted while waiting for input, preventing swaps mid-cascade.
  • Objectives + Lives/Energy: Track objectives (score, blockers, item collection, reach goals) and integrate a lives/energy regeneration system for progression.

Quick Start

Use the match3 skill to implement a match-3 game loop in C# by wiring a board model, match detector, cascade/destroy system, and game state machine around a grid of typed tiles.

Frequently Asked Questions about match3

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement match-3 cascading tile logic in a Unity puzzle game?▼

Detect match-3 patterns by scanning the grid deterministically for horizontal and vertical lines of three or more identical tiles. The logic supports merging and intersection detection to handle complex L and T shape overlaps.

How do I generate special tiles like color bombs based on match shape and size?▼

Generate special tiles by evaluating match size and shape during detection. Matches produce striped, wrapped, or color bomb tiles, and combining special-to-special or special-to-regular tiles triggers enhanced board clearing effects.

How do I prevent player input during match-3 tile cascades and animations?▼

Prevent input during cascades by enforcing a game state machine that gates player actions. The board only accepts swipe inputs while explicitly waiting for input, blocking swaps during non-interactive phases like tile clearing and gravity falls.

Can I track score combos, level objectives, and lives energy in a match-3 game loop?▼

Track score combos, level objectives, and lives energy by integrating objective monitoring for score, blockers, and item collection. The system applies combo multipliers during cascades and manages a lives or energy regeneration system for progression.

Does this match-3 grid system support blocker tiles like ice and chains?▼

The match-3 grid system supports blocker tiles like ice and chains through ScriptableObject-style tile definitions. These typed tiles integrate with the board model to act as obstacles within the match detection and clearing logic.
