One minor change I'd like to see - on the last play I'd like to see the "fireworks" from the last run complete before the final score box covers it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341871118304629191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-42352384239140381112011-03-04T08:18:53.519-05:002011-03-04T08:18:53.519-05:00hey i can,t make score more than 200, what to do.....hey i can,t make score more than 200, what to do.........timushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12554679529217790819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-48909292807734152352011-03-01T17:12:51.640-05:002011-03-01T17:12:51.640-05:00Hi David and belliott4488,

In short, yes, tiles are randomly generated and drawn on-the-fly. And every possible combination is possible due to the way we are randomizing their generation. I'm not sure how many unique tiles there are, but you might <a href="http://blog.gopherwoodstudios.com/2010/06/perfect-score-in-entanglement.html" rel="nofollow">enjoy the comments on this thread as well</a>. All that to say Nathaniel's mock-up above is actually possible, but definitely not probable.<br /><br />Allowing tile reflections is an interesting idea. I might need to think more about that one.Derek Detweilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274556211788769516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-37414221328382837132011-03-01T15:57:17.065-05:002011-03-01T15:57:17.065-05:00Good questions, David - I hope Derek or Todd will ...Good questions, David - I hope Derek or Todd will shed some light on the actual mechanism used. I really doubt there's code to create the images for random tiles at game time, so I'm guessing they've created a set of available tiles to draw from, which is smaller than the set of all possible tiles.<br /><br />So - how big is that set, anyway? I started to work it out but realized that it's trickier than I'd thought (and more than I can think about while I'm at work ;-) ). I'd be curious to see the correct answer.belliott4488https://www.blogger.com/profile/10343316506481587613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-31445541853486757002011-02-27T16:52:00.846-05:002011-02-27T16:52:00.846-05:001. So, are the tiles generated randomly, really? O...1. So, are the tiles generated randomly, really? Or is there a set of 36+ tiles that are randomly selected from? For example, I've yet to see a tile that has the u at each of the six sides (or at each of the six corners); but then I've only played about a hundred times or so. Has anybody counted the possible number of tiles? And, as importantly, are all possible tiles in the pool that the random selection is made from? This would help in determining the probability of a perfect score (perhaps it's impossible under the current implementation?)<br /><br />2. I think it would add some satisfaction and intrigue to the game if instead of just allowing rotational symmetries of the tile to be tested, that additionally we could try reflections of the tile about its vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry. This would lead to higher scores for sure; perhaps it should only be allowed once somebody has broken 300-400 or so (which seems to be a watershed of sorts, to me). In any event, it would probably allow for a shot at the perfect score, for somebody.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337240536685893165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-63203700689078246422011-02-23T15:47:00.062-05:002011-02-23T15:47:00.062-05:00Hey, head of days ...

This is the maximum *theoretical* score, meaning the highest possible score that could be obtained if the player always got the perfect tile and made perfect moves. <br /><br />The probability of this ever happening is extremely small, but it's possible - and it's the highest possible score. It's the kind of thing that gets mathematicians excited. ;-)belliott4488https://www.blogger.com/profile/10343316506481587613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-47134014505130222632011-02-17T23:10:23.090-05:002011-02-17T23:10:23.090-05:00yea, but thats not the maximum because the pieces ...yea, but thats not the maximum because the pieces do not work like that... they are randomChristian Zagarskashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434849450386233153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-69847012884642099692011-02-11T17:27:03.421-05:002011-02-11T17:27:03.421-05:00ditto nikinditto nikinhibarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676182936532637257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-17820953350274332082011-02-03T05:48:09.579-05:002011-02-03T05:48:09.579-05:00Add a timer to this game.Add a timer to this game.Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08158157699889043770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-20818049726765670992011-02-02T10:45:08.223-05:002011-02-02T10:45:08.223-05:00I just logged out from all my computers and phones...I just logged out from all my computers and phones, but still, I cannot login to save my high scores...<br /><br />I really hope you'll be able to fix this issue, that would be great !<br /><br />And keep the good work, your game is great !Guillaume Dupréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846012281581332755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14842589.post-74758446145109260812011-02-01T12:34:37.454-05:002011-02-01T12:34:37.454-05:00Hi Guillaume, we have had one player report that t...Hi Guillaume, we have had one player report that this occurs when signed into multiple Google Accounts simultaneously.
