Talking about SameGame game, Game development, HTML5, Javascript and Phaser.
With new version of Phaser being released quite often, it’s important to keep games updated and when you update a game it’s always the right time to add some new features.
This is what I am doing to my SameGame prototype built with Phaser 3 and the pure JavaScript SameGame class which now has a new configuration variable: by setting fallingDown property to false, blocks will fill empty spaces from by flying to the top rather than falling to the bottom.
this.sameGame = new SameGame({
rows: 10,
columns: 20,
items: 4,
fallingDown: false
});
Have a look:
Once you remove some blocks – you should know how – remaining blocks will fly up rather than falling down.
Why am I doing this? To allow the game to be played on a particular device I will talk about later this month.
This is the source code, with the class you can use in your own projects no matter the framework you are using, as it does not have any dependency.

Class starts at line 186, have fun using it in your own games, maybe you could add a power up which inverts gravity.
Never miss an update! Subscribe, and I will bother you by email only when a new game or full source code comes out.
