blocks(6)

✨ blocks — the fltk block attack! game ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Games Manual, section 6, and today's main character is blocks 💖 like, yes, the whole page is literally named after it. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

so Blocks is a FLTK-based block elimination game, and it is giving arcade chaos in the best way 🧚

Stacks of colored blocks move from right to left across the screen, and your whole job is to eliminate groups of adjacent blocks by clicking on them. that's it. that's the vibe.

and the way it does NOT stay chill 😭 as the game progresses, more colors get added — up to a maximum of 7 — and the blocks move faster and faster. it's a whole escalation arc, iykyk.

🦋 GAME PLAY 🦋

• Press the spacebar to start a game. go bestie go 🫶
• As the blocks move across the window, click on groups of two or more blocks to clear them — and listen, the larger the number of adjacent blocks, the greater the score. big groups = big points = main character energy 👑
• Clicking on a block containing a dark ball will clear all blocks of that color ✨ iconic, right? but plot twist: you will score much fewer points than a normal click. so it's a trade-off, bestie, choose wisely 💅
• The game is over when the blocks reach the left side of the window. that's the vibe check you do NOT want to fail 💀
• Press the spacebar to pause the game. self-care break, periodt 🌸
