trying to duplicate jawbreaker or bubblets

[drkknght]

it goes by 50 different names in its various incarnations, but the originators (as far as i know) refer to it as bubblets.

its a tetris-level addicting game, that involves grouping then clearing like-colored spheres. very simple concept, but amazingly high replay value.

i'm just started getting into coding games within flash, and didn't know if there were any tutorials on here for that game. and yes... i searched! i just wasn't sure if i was missing one, because it goes under so many names.

thanks!

i haven´t seen any tutes on this yet,and i guess the reason is that most game tutes are either more about general coding approaches or about creating simple game types.
puzzle/logic games are a bit more complicated,therefore you should better start out with a more simple genre and come back to this topic once you are more familar with the basics.
basically its all about creating a level from an array and then checking which elements are next to the one the user wants to influence and therefore apply some reaction,therefore doing some tutorials on tilebased games would be a good ways to get into it.

I was thinking to write tile based puzzle game tutorial. Basically puzzle game engines are all similar.
