on the screen, below the board are numbers:
left value: board number
middle value: score
right value: selection score / board highscore, with a + if it was cleared


samegame is a puzzle game.
goal is to clear the board.
groups having the same colors can be cleared if there are at least two spots of the same colour.
Next a spot is cleared, those above will be moved down to fill the empty space.
If a column is cleared, all columns right of it are shifted to the left.
Selection score is calculated by squaring the number of pieces minus two.

<previous .current:files >next  

files

samegame is storing some states in a few files in /home/username/.config/samegame/

setting values with command line options is bypassing those files.
samegame can run without those files, if filesystem cannot be written, yet high-score will be cleared as soon as changing board.

if wanting high-scores being kept, it could matter adjusting the directory being written.
chmod 0775 ~/.config/samegame chown $USER:$USER ~/.config/samegame
