694 very addictive !

AndyG1985

It’s difficult to know what my game plan should be.. I try to keep the bigger balls separate and combine the smaller ones.. I think that’s the winning strategy, but it’s tough! Fantastic, addictive game :D

PB____

My new high is 828

AndyG1985

New high score 747

waldron

New high 766

Devieus

I boosted my score to 741. I also added some extra circles to make it looks real nice:

In case you want it too, I added these two lines below line 847:

circle(fix(ball[i].pos.x)-fix(ball[i].radius)/7, fix(ball[i].pos.y)-fix(ball[i].radius)/7,fix(ball[i].radius)/1.25,max(fix(ball[i].radius),12),colorCorrect(color(ball[i].size))+{.05,.05,.05,.5},0
circle(fix(ball[i].pos.x)-fix(ball[i].radius)/2.5, fix(ball[i].pos.y)-fix(ball[i].radius)/2.5,fix(ball[i].radius)/4,max(fix(ball[i].radius),12),colorCorrect(color(ball[i].size))+{.1,.1,.1,.5},0

I did also tweak the colors on line 61 a bit, all 1s are now .8s and all .5s are .2s.

Logging 693! Good job with your game! It is a nice idea, like a synthesis of Tetris and ball-bouncing physics!

@devieus we tried your extra code and it came up with an error. When we changed the = near the beginning of each line to a - it worked. Looks very nice now thanks.

Thanks, I fixed the code block.

I have plans to make the crane look better too, but the balls are a good start.
