This is really well made :) Although the speed is noticeable.  Are you checking the entire screen for matches?  Maybe it would speed things up if you only checks the tiles you know had changed, and spread out from there, that way you dont have to check parts you know didnt change.

Ya, my suggestion would be kind of what Builder said. Check the tiles you move and then when the screen fills in then check up there or something. I haven't tested the new version you released but I will soon :)

Yea good idea. Like when the cursor rotates I check all the lines between 3 to the left and 3 to right, shortening it if it's closer to the edge, and the same for up and down, but it would get complicated after that, having to remember all of the positions. And wouldn't all of the extra code to write after that make it slow too? I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to take care of the speed yet

Newest update.

I didn't really improve on the check system, other than isolating it to it's own subprogram. Not that that is an improvement, but it's easier to edit now.

I added sprites though! Uses Donut Quest style text sprites. It is kind of slow, but instead of re-spriting every gem every time, which would make it insanely slow, it is only slightly slow, because it stores the 'shown' gems as a matrix and the 'current' gems as another and only renders the ones that are different.

Feedback would be great. Bugs. Advice. Etc.



EDIT:
P.S. Screenie!

I just added a little pause function for the game. Not that much of an advancement, so I'm not gonna upload it, but it basically uses the same program as the 'options' on the main menu, just adding 'Exit Game?' and 'Yes' or 'No', then if you picked no, it reloads only the part of the screen that got covered, rather than the entire screen. Which would be very slow.

Wow, nice!  That looks great!  I really like the main menu.  Excellent job on that.  What are you using for inverted text? :)

YES! I added checking for gems in a row greater than 4, just now. I need to rewrite it in for vertical because it's only on horizontal right now, but I'll upload it soon. :D

EDIT:
uploaded it, it probably has some errors, because i accidentally deleted the hole pause function I had, so i had to rewrite it today along with the rest of the stuff i added, and I wasn't as focused on it as the first time so it wont be as perfect as it could've been.

the folder has each individual file

Yea I'm not really sure what else I should add. But if I don't add something 'fun' it will be a really monotonous game.
