| I've seen a bunch of games where you line up colored shapes or shapes of the same kind and if their touching and equal 3 or more then they are removed and points giving. My question is how is that done? how or whats the best way to detect same shapes touching each other? |

| There's any number of ways... in a game like Tetris, for example, you can describe the game grid in a simple NxM array. Given the coordinates of a particular piece (i,j), you can search around the array easily by looking at the array points (i-1,j),(i+1,j), etc. |

| not sure I follow you.. so your saying to make a grid of my playing area using multidemensioned arrays? and then just scan them to see whats where? |

| don't know if it's what your looking for but WolRon's site has a tetris clone example, among others. http://home.cmit.net/rwolbeck/programmingtutorial/ |
