Level Types

1. Normal levels - Will increase in amount of colors, and from level 160 will add a random variant that has 2 small buffers instead of a free column.

2. Special levels - These vary in layout, buffers and locked columns. They come around every 7 levels.

3. Hard levels - The same as Normal levels (including variant after level 160), but all blocks under the surface are hidden. Occur every 9 levels.

4. Easy levels - These can be hard, normal or special, but are always a few difficulty levels below your current difficulty level. They start occurring from level 150, and come around every 13 levels.

5. Scrambled levels - These are normal levels, but someone has already done some moves towards solving them! The start occurring from level 180, and Occur every 9 levels, mostly just after a hard level.

6. Dungeon levels - These levels have enemies and traps. Use the proper items to remove them to continue your sorting journey!

Development setup

yarn install
yarn dev

Note

This project uses yarn pnp. This means you need to install the ZipFS extension, and you possibly need to run yarn dlx @yarnpkg/sdks

• Running tests: yarn test
• Lint code: yarn lint

The game will use pre-created seeds to generate levels in a fast way on mobile (reduces power usage and loading times).

For all management around these seeds, check out:

bin/level-seeds.ts --help

To test all the seeds, and remove the invalid ones:

bin/level-seeds.ts test

To generate missing seeds, run:

bin/level-seeds.ts generate --all

Reading output of generation process:
