2. What is Lumines? • Sit still and watch the film. • Lumines is a game that you operate 2*2 blocks which is composed of 2 colors: red and white. • To get points, we “drop” the block at the top of the screen and try to form 2*2 blocks composed of only one color. • A line swipes from left to right and eliminates the 2*2 blocks in one color. • But almost everyone knows this game……

3. How is the score calculated? • We try to arrange the blocks with the same color together. • A line swipes through the screen, eliminating the blocks in one color. • Bywhatstrategycan we score the most?

4. Motive • Our friend, SillyDuck Yang dedicated his wholelife to writing a C++ lumines program that can beat the cellphone version. However, he faced some technical difficulties and put the project away. • He mentioned this project to us. We found it very interesting and challenging. So we decided to pick up from where he stopped.

5. Can it be written in C++? • Yes. • 當然可以 • 東聯诶賽

6. But how? • During our first attempt, we wrote a two- dimensional array, which is composed of 3 numbers: 0, 1 and 2. 0 represents blank, 1 being red, 2 being white. • In the project, we will write several functions so that we are able to control the movement and rotation of the block. • The elimination of the blocks also needs to be discussed. • We also aim for the enhancing of the game’s playability if possible.
