| 16 | <p> | ||
| 17 | You have a grid of coloured squares, which you have to clear by highlighting contiguous regions of more than one coloured square; the larger the region you highlight, the more points you get (and the faster you clear the arena). | ||
| 18 | </p> | ||
| 19 | <p> | ||
| 20 | If you clear the grid you win. If you end up with nothing but single squares (i.e., there are no more clickable regions left) you lose. | ||
| 21 | </p> | ||
| 22 | <p> | ||
| 23 | Removing a region causes the rest of the grid to shuffle up: blocks that are suspended will fall down (first), and then empty columns are filled from the right. | ||
| 24 | </p> | ||

| 26 | Same Game was contributed to this collection by James Harvey. | ||

| 28 | <h2><a name="S13.1"></a>13.1 <a name="i1"></a>Same Game controls</h2> | ||
| 29 | <p> | ||
| 30 | This game can be played with either the keyboard or the mouse. | ||
| 31 | </p> | ||
| 32 | <p> | ||
| 33 | If you left-click an unselected region, it becomes selected (possibly clearing the current selection). | ||
| 34 | </p> | ||
| 35 | <p> | ||
| 36 | If you left-click the selected region, it will be removed (and the rest of the grid shuffled immediately). | ||
| 37 | </p> | ||
| 38 | <p> | ||
| 39 | If you right-click the selected region, it will be unselected. | ||
| 40 | </p> | ||
| 41 | <p> | ||
| 42 | The cursor keys move a cursor around the grid. Pressing the Space or Enter keys while the cursor is in an unselected region selects it; pressing Space or Enter again removes it as above. | ||
| 43 | </p> | ||

| 57 | <dt> | ||
| 58 | <em>No. of colours</em> | ||
| 59 | </dt> | ||
| 60 | <dd> | ||
| 61 | Number of different colours used to fill the grid; the more colours, the fewer large regions of colour and thus the more difficult it is to successfully clear the grid. | ||
| 62 | </dd> | ||
| 63 | <dt> | ||
| 64 | <em>Scoring system</em> | ||
| 65 | </dt> | ||
| 66 | <dd> | ||
| 67 | Controls the precise mechanism used for scoring. With the default system, ‘(n-2)^2’, only regions of three squares or more will score any points at all. With the alternative ‘(n-1)^2’ system, regions of two squares score a point each, and larger regions score relatively more points. | ||
| 68 | </dd> | ||
| 69 | <dt> | ||
| 70 | <em>Ensure solubility</em> | ||
| 71 | </dt> | ||
| 72 | <dd> | ||
| 73 | If this option is ticked (the default state), generated grids will be guaranteed to have at least one solution. | ||
| 74 | <p> | ||
| 75 | If you turn it off, the game generator will not try to guarantee soluble grids; it will, however, still ensure that there are at least 2 squares of each colour on the grid at the start (since a grid with exactly one square of a given colour is <em>definitely</em> insoluble). Grids generated with this option disabled may contain more large areas of contiguous colour, leading to opportunities for higher scores; they can also take less time to generate. | ||
