| Hi all, My son and I have been writing a simple blocks game. It's nothing original or complex, but it was a fun project and it meant we got to spend some time together and also got him interested in learning to code. I thought perhaps somebody else might benefit from the stuff we have done (not that I'm the worlds best teacher or anything - but I always learn more looking at other peoples stuff if you know what I mean). The code is fully commented and hopefully easy to follow. It might help someone if they are just starting out - I doubt anyone with any experience will learn much (so thats most of you guys) but you might enjoy playing the game for 5 minutes. Screenshots :-   Download Link (about 800k) includes source, media and compiled .exe :- http://www.wildebeestgames.com/blocks/blocks.zip Any and all comments welcome. Would especially like to know if anybody finds the source code easy to follow. Oh and our current highest score :- 4318 cheers, Mark |

| Thanks for the comments :) A good tactic is to clear each colour in turn since the score you get for clearing an area increases exponentially with the number of connected blocks. Thanks for trying it. Mark |
