A Candy Crush inspired game for the final CS246 project.

Make sure you have the necessary library to compile graphics (X11 recommended).

Start and run an X server, export the display if necessary.

Compile the program by using the make command.

Run the program:

./ss5k

• swap x y z swaps the square at the (x, y) co-ordinate with the square in the z direction
  • 0 for north
  • 1 for south
  • 2 for west
  • 3 for east
• hint returns a valid move (x, y, z) as above that would lead to match
• scramble (available only if no moves are possible) reshuffles the squares on the board
• levelup increases the difficulty level of the game by one
• leveldown decreases the difficulty level of the game by one
• restart clears the board and starts a new game at the same level
• End-of-file (EOF) terminates the game

• -text runs the program in text-only mode, i.e. no graphics, default displays graphics
• -seed x sets the random number generator's seed to x
• -scriptfile file uses file for this level's intial board configuration
• -startlevel n starts the game in level n, default is level 0

./ss5k -text -startlevel 2

starts the game at level 2, in text only mode, and all other options as default
