This is First game I create in C/PAlib! It is a basic yet operational implementation of SameGame, a simple puzzle game that came built it in my old phone and was very useful in waiting/queueing situations. The main goal here was to get used to the new programing enviroment (devkitPro / C / PAlib) and I have to say that I succeeded since I only took two day to program it.

Regarding the game, you can find an extensive game description of SameGame at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SameGame. In short: You have a rectangular playing screen initially filled with colored blocks. By choosing adjoined blocks of the same color you can remove them from the screen and the usual gravity action takes place. You can play with two main objectives in mind:

* To connect the blocks of a kind as many as possible (to make a big score).
* To remove all the blocks in the screen (usually resulting in considerable bonus).

Here comes a screenshot of the game:

Are the board size and number of colors standardized on this game like they are on, say, Tetris? I'd guess not, given that I've seen a version for TI-83 with 12x8 space grid, a version for TI-86 with 16x8 space grid, a version for Game Boy with 15x15 space grid, etc. Still, are there any more common board sizes?

It's the referrer on the image URL that's breaking it. If you're in Firefox, drag the URL up to an empty space on your tab bar and it'll work, opened in a new tab.

Or get RefControl and don't bother worrying about referrers.

Or move your crap to a server that doesn't care about the referring URL.
