GameOfGroups
Inspired by Thomas Colthurst's 45 by 45 Connections puzzle
A simple game about grouping items.
How To Play
To move around with a mouse you can middle click drag. You can two finger scroll on touch-pad and one finger drag on touchscreen.
- Select a tile, it will be displayed in the top banner.
- Find a tile you think is in the same group / category as the selected tile.
- If they are in the same category they will combine.
- Keep track of your progress on the top banner & use the mini-map as needed. You can click on it to move it out of the way. It will go away when the number of tiles is small enough.
- Repeat!
Shuffling
There is a shuffle button but it will shuffle EVERYTHING. This means any organization system will not be kept.
Because you don't have control over the shuffle I recommend only using it if you are really stuck and need a fresh view.
Importing & Exporting Saves
Your saves can be imported & exported to a file to be shared between computers or friends.
Its as easy as pressing the buttons on the banner!
WARNING: Importing a save will overwrite the current game. If you want to save your progress export your save before loading the new one.
Making Your Own Categories
You can make your own set of categories and words in a spreadsheet to play with and share with friends!
The first row of the spreadsheet is the name of the categories and the columns hold the words for each category.
Keep in mind there can't be ANY duplicate words or words in multiple different categories (The game will tell you what duplicate words you have when you try to load the new dataset).
This should result in a spreadsheet with the name of the groups in the first cell of each column and all the words in that group in the cells below.
Here is an example table:
| Colors | Shapes | Continents |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Square | Africa |
| Green | Triangle | Antarctica |
| Blue | Circle | Australia |
To load the spreadsheet into the game export it as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. After it is exported it can then be loaded into the game via the "Load CSV file" button in the top banner.
If you export your new save it will still keep track of your tiles for you.
