Zengo 0.1

How to Play

• Goal: Bring all tiles of the same color together into a single, contiguous group.
• Controls: Click on a tile to select it. Then click on an target tile to swap them. Each swap costs one move.
• Strategy: Plan your moves ahead! The display below the game board shows you how many tiles of each color are on the board. At the beginning the arranging goes easy but later you may end up in a situation forcing you to rearrange whole groups, to reach the full score. Your strategies for allocating groups on the board will get better with each game you play.

Scoring

Your goal is to to reach the maximum possible points. You achieve this by forming the optimal shape for each color.

• A group is only scored if all tiles of that color on the board form a single, contiguous group.
• Lines: A group that forms a horizontal or vertical line receives points equal to its length (e.g., 5 tiles in a row = 5 points).
• Rectangles: A group that forms a solid rectangle (e.g., 2x3) receives a high score according to the formula Number of tiles * Width * Height (e.g., 6 tiles in a 2x3 rectangle = 6 * 2 * 3 = 36 points).
• Other shapes (e.g., L-shapes or rectangles with holes) score zero points.

The diagram at the top tracks your path to the solution.
