Hi, thanks for the module, its exactly what i was looking for. One issue though, it’s that it doesn’t handle parsing of custom headers, ie, %{Foobar}i. Is there a way to go around this? thanks

btw, i tried posting the stack trace, and the board wouldn’t let me, so there’s a parsing error there too heheh :-D

Any chance of throwing a paragraph of instructions (or link thereto) below/above/beside the game?

I think you can mitigate having an unclearable line. Most games end with low numbers making a row you can’t clear near the top of the board. Since that’s the configuration that causes problems, the strategy I use is to be very aggressive in clearing low numbers (never have 1’s on the board), especially when they start to clump.

The thing I couldn’t quite like about Drop7 was that it seemed like* you were mostly fighting chance; an unlucky combination of numbers can make a line nearly impossible to clear, resulting in your eventual death. Tetris at least is playable for practically forever.

* Is this true, or am I missing some major part of the game?
