SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A TOKEN MATCH GAME

摘要

An m×l array of randomly selected tokens may be provided as a playing field, and a second n×l array of randomly selected tokens may be provided as a hand. The player may select a cell within the m×l array to replace the token in said cell with a token in a corresponding cell of the n×l array. If the replacement results in a region of adjacent identical tokens in the m×l array, the tokens may be removed and the player's score incremented. If no plays are possible from the player's hand, the player may draw a new hand of randomly selected tokens to replace the tokens and/or blank spaces in the n×l array. Play continues until the player has exhausted a predetermined number of opportunities to draw a new hand.

主权项

1. A method for validating token replacement within an array, comprising:
detecting an interaction of a user, via an input device of a computing device, with a first cell within an m×l array of randomly selected tokens, the first cell including a first token, each cell within the m×l array corresponding to a single cell in an n×l array of randomly selected tokens; identifying, by a rules engine executed by the computing device, a second token in the single cell of the n×l array corresponding to the first cell within the m×l array; determining, by the rules engine, that the second token is identical to tokens in at least two cells adjacent to the first cell in the m×l array; and responsive to the determination, removing, by the rules engine, the second token from the n×l array, the first token from the m×l array, and the tokens in the at least two cells adjacent to the first cell in the m×l array that are identical to the second token.
