Game "Шарики в ряд"
Правила игры
Balls of five different colors appear on the field before each move, three at a time.
In one move, the player can move one ball to an arbitrary cell, if it is not occupied and a continuous path can be laid to it along unoccupied cells.
Balls of the same color in an amount greater than the number specified in a particular game, lined up in a row (no matter how, in a straight line, diagonally, or both at the same time) are destroyed, bringing points. The more balls destroyed, the more points you get.
The game ends when the playing field is filled with balls.
Calculation of the number of points
If "x" is the minimum number of balls that must be destroyed to earn points, and "p" is the number of balls beyond this minimum, then the total points awarded for "x+p" balls is (x+p)*(p+1).
For example, if the minimum number of balls is five:
- 5 balls - 5 points = (5+0)*(0+1)
- 6 balls - 12 points = (5+1)*(1+1)
- 7 balls - 21 points = (5+2)*(2+1)
- 8 balls - 32 points = (5+3)*(3+1)
- and so on
Score Multiplier for Consecutive Streaks
When you clear your first group of balls, you earn standard points, as shown in the table above. If you clear more balls on your next turn, your points are multiplied by 2. A third consecutive clear grants a 3x multiplier, and so on.
The streak is broken if you make a move that does not clear any lines. In this case, the multiplier resets to 1, and you must begin building your streak from scratch.
