    Store each level in a table, each grid in a 1d form with the first column showing the size (8 = 8x8).

    The next table is for storing the current level in a 2d area. When clicking, have a background object detect the mouse click and constrain to a variable how much the mouse has moved up or down, left or right. Should be able to detect wether moving in a horizontal or vertical way. Once you've figured that out, put the movement, column/row number in global variables. When the blocks in that area figure out that they are selected, they'll either move up and down or left or right (already in a global) to their current spot + mouse movement.

    The thing thats taking care of all this will check in the table at the (say) last row, col 2 for anything, while sliding, every (size of block) pixels, it'll go one up and say "Is there anything in the second to last row" to make sure nothing is going in.

    Block editor is just a single click for a boleans. Click means on or off. Colors at bottom for last clicked?

    Yeah... That should start you off.

    @creativeapps stop asking people to do stuff for free. You sent me a message yesterday to tell you how to build this game and I told you what other have to look at specific videos. Get off your lazy a$$ and stop asking people to build this game for you.

    @FryingBaconStudios I am not asking stuff for free. I am ready to pay for that or trade art what ever other prefer. And respect others to get respect.

    Maybe I busted you in a lie and pointed out you are spamming people that's why you want me to leave it alone. I never talk to you or even know you and you sent me a message like I've helped you before. If he spammed you please post so in this thread.

    Hey guys,

    I don't think we should be fighting about this - Even though CreativeApps might have forgot to mention that he is willing to pay, he has revised that now. So, is there a reason to argue anymore?

    Yes, I make peace...Now, back to your normal broadcast.

    @creativeapps

    Ive told you this many times . This is like your 3rd or 4th (recent) thread where you have posted a game video and asked how do i make this.

    No one is gonna tell you how to make a whole game, period. You need to put the effort in, learn the program, watch tutorials, get started on the game, and when you get stuck on a specific thing then post a question and well help. By specific i dont mean the first part of the game when you havent done anything yourself yet. Many people have told you this already.

    If you dont want to put the effort in yourself, your gonna have to pay the developers full rate to do it which seemed like you didnt want to do last time i talked to you.

    Your gonna have to put the effort in and learn and do it yourself, or pay someone to do it. If you dont want to do one of those two options that your not gonna be able to make games.

    Im not trying to be mean or rude, or stir the pot up. Im just telling it like it is.

    What I find funny is your website says you do app solutions...I think it might be false advertising...and I was messaged by others confirming my suspicions that you did spam others. If you don't stop with this foolishness I will report you for a TOS violation. Don't tell me I misunderstand, I understand exactly what you are up to.

    @FryingBaconStudios enough is enough. I already explained you kindly and still I can see lots of attitude in you. You can report for a TOS violation. Hey wait do you want email address for TOS violation? Let me know if you want it. I dont care because I am true. Now dont waste my time by posting in this thread just go and do what ever you want. Just get lost.

    NOTE: You poor guy first check service list in my website before finding funny things. Dont you know the meaning of "designing" mention in services? Oh wait may be you are one of sick illiterate people of your family.

    I never talked to anyone like this but I think you 100% deserves it. And dont come back again and post anything.
