Thank you very much. I was developing a game in the style of Bubble Shooter, and my method for recursively detecting neighbors was consistently causing a stack overflow error. Your approach to this matter is incredibly concise and straightforward. You've saved me from a significant waste of time; words can't express how thankful I am. 👏❤

A clear, easy to understand, helpful tutorial. Thank you

I love that you use advanced C# and Unity methods. I find learning through examples to be really effective for me.

A very insightful tutorial for beginners. Thank you

This was very helpful! Thank you for a great tutorial!

GREAT VID!! (it took me 2 tries but eventually it worked!)

Great tutorial, this was really useful!

Thanks a lot! Helped make a cool game🎉🎉🎉

tysm for tutorial this is so helpful!! =D

Awesome tutorial, thank you so much

thank you, this is a very cool video

Many thanks for the help 🌹

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Very we’ll explain!

is the link to the complete project still available

Hello How i can add other tile-types ? it's not work when i add it using this [CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Match 3 Engine/Tile Type Asset")]

when trying to click change it fast Until the image icon is stuck together and then comes up with a message that says "ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection." How should I fix it?

Thanks for the tutorial, easy to follow. 1. Is there anyway to make the connected tiles match and pop only for horizontal or vertical tiles only of 3 or more? 2. How do we determine when it's game over?

Yo man. Thanks for the tutor. Would be awesome if future videos get a little bit louder. I mean in headphones is ok, but phone loudspeakers are interrupted by outside noises(in my case it's car noises from window).

Hello, please tell me how to implement point(score) counting in the latest version of the game from 06/01/2021, thanks in advance.

At 15:00 When I finished the script for item and go back to Unity, I got an error says Assets\Script\Item.cs(3,19): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'menuName' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) any help for that

Do the gameobjects - tiles specifically, stretch when you test the game on a real device with different resolution? how to adapt to all screen sizes?

Great video. There is a small bug where it stops matching tiles that are already looped over in the Pop() method. I added this at the end of the Pop() method. if (CanPop()) { await Pop(); }

How can I check if it's impossible to do a move and if so reset the board?

great tutorial, well done. Do you have plan to make video about custom grid ? not just rectangle.

I got a error saying Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error CS1061 'row[]' does not contain a definition for 'Max' and no accessible extension method 'Max' accepting a first argument of type 'row[]' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Assembly-CSharp C:\Users\m\Documents\Unity\ofiical pw\Assets\scripts\board.cs 20 Active I'm at 20:34 part of the video

Hello, thank you for the great tutorial :) I have a question, what does this code mean? public Tile[ ] Neighbours => new [ ] { Left, Top, Right, Bottom, }; I didn't see that syntax before, it looks like you create a new property that has just a "get" and you just wrote"new [ ]" without specifying what type of array you creating and filled it with all the directions you created?

hey how to make a scoreboard with the new project?

When will there be an updated video tut of this? And can you show more of how to add score, timer, your own background image & have an ending to go to the next level? Thanks.

After a year and a half away from game dev my friend from university and I figured we would try a matching game to get back into the swing of things. Working entirely from scratch we almost had it done. Out of curiosity as I lay here before bed I wanted to see how others went about it and my theory (including the paint drawing 😂) is bang on the money with how you have done it (save for setting up the grid). I’ve used lists before but haven’t set up a grid system but I didn’t want to go down that path if I could avoid it. Looks like I’ve still got it 😂 great vid

When I follow along on this video & make it from scratch, I get all sorts of compiler errors. I am using the same Unity version as you. And when I compare the code from the updated project that you have a link to, I find that the code is totally different. For instance in the code in the video you reference _selection, but it is NOT defined anywhere in the code, so it gives me all sorts of errors. So now I am stuck at around 36:00 in the video because I can't get it to work correctly.

hi bro. gives me this error. how can I solve it? NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Board.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/Board.cs:33) script line 33 : tile.Item = ItemDatabase.Items[Random.Range(0, ItemDatabase.Items.Length)];

I'm trying to follow your tutorial and I'm stuck at the 30th minute. I've tried to download the project but the page is blocked. Would you be so kind as to fix it?

Is there a copyright on your codes and can they be used for a creation of my own project?

Getting a fault IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. MatchThreeEngine.Board.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/MatchThreeEngine/Board.cs:65 Any ideas?

how are your using directives automatically generated

someone has did it but with the match 3 on a line instead of in any direction? i mean 3 horizontals or 3 verticals intead of 2 verticals and 1 horizontal, for example

Finally finished the tutorial Great learning experience for me Love the video But I encouraged a 2 bugs if you swipe while an item is still swiping the game crashes And also when you select an object and select another object far off then select two other objects that a close to each other it doesn't swipe...it still wants to swipe with the first object you selected Also can you do a tutorial on powered up items... like matching 4 will give another item etc and stuff like matching items in a straight line? ♥️sub

Great video, Is there a way to have different effects when certain blocks match? like if you match some red blocks you get more points or something

How to copy paste auto increase (tile_1, tile_2...)

The script for the score seems to not working. Any ideas please??

Thank you so much for the video and clear explanations you explained some of the more complex parts really detailed and easy to follow. You suggested making on shuffle algorithm on start to make sure there is no matching tiles to begin with, how would I go about doing that? Thank you again for taking the time to this tutorial I don't know whether you will see this or not but thank you regardless.

This actually is not a very performant way of handling a match game. Especially when the typical board is 7x7 or larger. Iterating through every single tile, and then recursively looking through connected tiles for matches takes too much time. A check is needed to prevent tiles that have already been checked (through recursion) from going back in the direction from which they were already checked. For example, a tile at position 3, 2 does not need to check any tiles whose x is less than 3 or whose y is less than 2. Also, you're deflating after every single tile you check. Instead, you should wait until you've checked the entire board to do the deflation. In the current implementation it's repeating the deflating task because (as I mentioned before), it's also checking tiles that have already been checked...and since even though they've been deflated, their tile value is still the same, they're added to the task all over again.

i wrote exactly what you wrote but i encountered 2-3 errors. No animal images appear in the upper left corner and i get an error when i press it. Pressing the A key grows all boxes that are not matched. When i type the code exactly, the matching boxes do not disappear.

any easy way to make this for mobile?

I did follow every single step until 31:09 but my Sprites are yet not shown. Any ideas? Who can help me!

link of complete proj doesnt work

Bro but your Video Resolution is not Available

So for my next new project I'm going to make a multiplayer dungeon battler where each player will try and solve these matches to launch attacks at monsters. Yay fnet! :)

System.Linq doesn't have the rows.max

Sometimes items don't Pop when they are matched

ndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. MatchThreeEngine.Board.Start () (at Assets/Assets/Scripts/MatchThreeEngine/Board.cs:65) ???
