Hello Everyone,
This is the completed version of Lucky Numbers board game including Solo Play. Solo Play is a puzzle game the challenges the player to try to complete 40 levels of play.
During the making of the Solo Play edition, my hard drive on my laptop crashed and won't load Windows. This was the only location where I had Solo Play with no other backups, only a few hand written notes. Unable to recover any data at this time, I simply downloaded the 2 to 4 player version from here and started over.
The Solo Play also includes some updates to the original 2 to 4 player version:
1 - I change the deck card back to a color one.
2 - When there are no cards on the table, the game automatically draws a card from the deck for the player.
3 - When choosing a table card, the player doesn't need to click in the large table cursor then click on the card, they only need to click on the card. A player can click on that card again to un-select it or even click on a different table card.
The Solo Play version as mentioned is a puzzle game with 40 levels. A player must complete the current level or highest level completed before attempting a harder level. You see, a player may play any level lower up yo their current level. There a can be 8 different players playing at their own level on a single device. They are identified by their name they enter at the start of their game.
Each level has a predetermined number of moves to complete the puzzle from 2 to 8. The puzzle starts off with the 16 cards already arranged on the board. However, a few of the cards are not in their correct position on the board. The player swaps pairs of cards at a time, a predetermined number of moves to complete the puzzle. If the puzzle was not successfully complete, they are required to restart that level. However, if they did complete the puzzle, they advance to the next puzzle. As players complete levels, their game is saved to HD.
When the game is first played on a device, there are no current players stored on HD and the player is asked to enter their name. That player starts at puzzle level 1 and must complete that level before going to level 2. After that first time the game is played, the game loads the current players and you choose your name. If you are a new player, you can select NEW PLAYER and the game will ask you to enter your name and you will start at level 1.
Cards can only be swapped next to each other (side by side or top and bottom) or at opposite ends of the board on the same row or column.
At any time during the play of a level, a player my choose to restart that level, choose a different level, choose a different player, quit the game or play solution.
If you choose to play solution, the game shows you all of the moves to complete the puzzle. Most puzzle games includes the solution to each puzzle, however, I could find one for this game. I included the first 8 levels in this game, but unable to complete level 9. If anyone plays this and able to complete more levels and wants to record the moves, please feel free to post the solutions.
Hope you enjoy playing. Donald
