Advice on Candy Crush drop effect?

crestwoodgames

I have been working on a game and trying to figure the best way to do this. When a tile is cleared out on a lower row, what do you think the best method to have the above tiles drop into place.

I was thinking of using gravity and just have the tiles sit on each other.

Is this how it is done with these types of games? Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

Yes, you could use gravity, but that's now how the big boys (big companies) do it, it seems. They have an interpolate effect. We have a demo on our site (gshelper.com) that uses tables to help with the mechanic, but it's still has a few bugs in it (which is one of the reasons why it's free). Perhaps you could download that file and tweak it to your needs.
