start with a 4-colored n*m rectangle. Remove monocolored connected regions of size s>1. Score increases by s*s. Collapse the holes by moving the pile above them downwards. Continue until all monocolored connected components have size 1. When all square-cells are removed this way, you get a bonus of x. This can be a 2-part-contest as in pancakes : first generate difficult configurations in part 1, then let people solve them in part 2 Play the game on : http://www.digitalpostma.com/samegame/indexold.html First part: submit several hard-to-solve puzzles. Second part: solve all submitted puzzles with the largest possible score |
