This is the kind of game that I like most: calm and brainly. I passed to 4th level with a score of 756. I love it and I’m going to download it to play at home.
Regarding scoring: The present implementation of scoring seems to allow infinite score from the initial board. Isn't this the opposite of how the scoring should work? Doing the board in as few moves as possible should yield a greater score, shouldn't it? The only problem is if the block generation is indeed random, as I suspect it is, then your score would be totally luck based (assuming perfect play).
I'm glad you liked it bigb. 1) I changed the way the levels get built. on the levels where the color is prefilled, i used the flood fill in scratch. This creates blocks without the border. therefore they are smaller. I thought about going back and adding the borders, but I already spent so much time on the underlying routines. 2) instead of checking the whole board each time a block slides, i only look for colors adjacent to the last block that match that color. And since there can never be more than two blocks touching on the board, i only need to check the blocks two squares away from the last block. 3) I use a small sprite that prechecks the blocks in front of the one that is going to slide, since this sprite only checks the center of the square, if the edge is off by on pixel, it doesn't effect the slide.
I have a couple of questions
1) why do some of the blocks become larger than others?
2) how did you manage to speed up the block detection so well. i had thought about trying but never got round to it.
3) how have you not had the problem of the top middle block moving slightly to one side?
WOW!!!! I have been playing bigb's game almost daily, but I get so frustrated with the glitches. Here, you fixed all of the glitches and made it really cool! Thanks!
Download this project!
Download the 25 sprites and 118 scripts of "Block Slider" and open it in Scratch
Project Notes
This is based on bigb's Block Buster game. I remixed it to speed up the block detection routine. I also aded some additional levels and features. Hope you enjoy it.

I'm glad you like it. I loved the concept that bigB cam up with, but didn't like the lag. I played this game soo much when I first finished making it.
You remix is best
Thank you. I mainly did it because I liked bigb's project. I thought it might be a challenge to try and speed it up.
Awesome!

Wow!
THIS IS THE BEST PROJECT I HAVE EVER SEEN!
AWESOME
Extremely good.
Really nice.
same as lemanator.
That was a good puzle like game. Good job guys.
one of the best
really hard
cool!
I had thought about removing the score all together since it really has no impact on the game. But people love to get high scores, so i left it in.

wow ive only just noticed that blocks can jump over each other

FANTASTIC. i have had many of my games remixed but never with such fantastic improvements.
AWESOME REMIX
