Seeking 2D Match 3 Puzzle Sourcecode (B3D)

Frank, I read a few business magazines in some doctors waiting rooms, so obviously Im an expert at business...

The story you described re:pickles is how a lot of succesful businesses start actually.

As for the match3 game, all you have to do is go through all the columns e.g.

for x=1 to 8
check_column(x)
next

function check_column(num)
for this_colour=1 to 4 ;assuming you have 4 types of tile
for x=1 to 8
if colour_of_piece(num,x)=this_colour
matched_tiles=matched_tiles+1
endif

if matched_tiles>2
;we have a row gentlemen
endif

next
next
end function

the code above isnt perfect, there are still bugs to work out,
