This an implementation of the classic "Color Lines" puzzle game using Python 3.7 and "pygame" library.

Rules:

  • There's a 9x9 tile grid with color balls of 6 different colors on it.
  • Player moves the balls one ball at a time.
  • If after a move 5 or more neighbouring balls of the same color are aligned horizontally, vertically or diagonally, they are removed, and the player is awarded score points. 5 balls = 5 points, 6 balls = 7 points, 7 balls = 9 points ...
  • If no balls are removed after a move, 3 pending balls are added to the field, and 3 more "pending" balls will be shown.
  • A player cannot move a ball into a pending ball position or move to a position that cannot be achieved via moving over adjacent empty tiles.

Objective:

  • Score as many points as possible before there are no available moves left.
