Simple clone of the common match3 genre using the olc::PixelGameEngine by Javidx9. It's just for fun and educational purpose. Feel free to modify, improve, and use it :) If you want to use the gem assets, feel free to use them in any creative way as I released them into public domain - acknowledgement is appreciated.
Just do for standard compilation on Linux (tested with gcc 8.2.1):
# generates the application
g++ -o Jewel mainJewels.cpp -lX11 -lGL -lpthread -lpng -lstdc++fs -std=c++17
# run the application
./JewelSimply use the mouse to select a gem and another for switching gems. Try to create rows or coloumns with at least 3 similar colored gems or using anycolor gem.
Special gems:
- Bomb: 4 gems in consecutive order row/column
- Rainbow: 5 gems in consecutive order row/column
- Star (AnyColor gem): 7 different gems in consecutive order row/column
- Color Heart (AnyColor bomb): 3 gems + star in consecutive order row/column
- Color Rainbow: 4 gems + star/color heart in consecutive order row/column or 3+2stars
Effect:
- Bomb: destroy 3x3 vicinity of bomb
- Rainbow: destroy all gems of same color
- Star: has every color for replacement
- Color Heart: bomb with every color
- Color Rainbow: destroys all gems as it has all colors
Random Drop:
- Bomb: 1/64
- Rainbow: 1/4096
Color Drop:
- AnyColor: 1/64
- Other: 63/64

Heavily inspired by the Match3 example in the 50K Live code party of Javidx9 giving the idea for this.
