I'm experimenting with a connecting match-3 game similar to Paint Monsters, Yummy Gummy or Fruit Splash Mania.

Here's some features that I've implemented:
- Matching system
- Selector
- Gravity (thanks to
  alextro)
And some features that I'm not implement yet:
- Connection stroke
- Block re-spawn
As the title said, how do I implement the features that I'm not implemented yet?

Draw connection link between sprites:

If you want to immediately re-spawn after block being destroyed, see my example here:

You can modify some events to meet your needs. Just in case, I will create another demo file to showcase how filling empty space works.

alextro - Thanks, I'll try. Anyway, here's my capx: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/130 ... racer.capx
Can you edit the capx to achieve this?

Indeed I did that in my working capx which is inspired from Doraemon Gadget Rescue.

Here a preview:

Still working on the sample, move onto spawning system. So wait untill I finished the capx and I'll share the capx.

(Struggle on finding the most efficient way to build entire system)

The wait is over. As promised here the source for line matching:

swap_line.capx

Working perfect with canceling route feature & scoring system. All under 50 events!

korbaach Thanks!
Please re-download again the link, not much change just forgot to include a variable as condition at event 13. There were a chance in previous version that after user connecting blocks then make tapping fast repeatedly, the blocks won't fall. Now it fixed

Due to inaccurate picking condition in previous version, the required state was not trigger properly.

Fixed the problem even it runs at solid 60 fps at slowest machine (my netbook).

Hey Alextro, I want to add more rows, however, when I copy and paste and then run it, the re-fill doesn't work. What do I have to update in the event sheet in order to work with additional rows?
