Water Sort Puzzle prototype
Idea:
To experiment with new game mechanics. To create a tool for making and testing new puzzle levels.
Features:
- Seeded random level generator with the following modes:
- CLASSIC: 2 to 10 colors in tubes of equal size each containing 3 to 8 balls (portions) each. 2 tubes are empty. Gather balls of each color in their own tubes to win.
- UNO: the same as classic except that you have to gather only one color to win. It makes the win condition easier, which is essential for unpuzzling larger tubes with a volume of 5+.
- Fog of War: can be activated in both previous modes. Only the top ball of each tube has its color visible, to reveal others - make them the top. In Uno mode, the balls of the goal color are also visible.
Levels can be saved/exported to files and loaded from it. The game counts moves, has an undo, and can add & remove empty tubes. Move helper makes the best move for the selected tube's top ball. The game supports mouse & touch and can be played with a keyboard.
