Levels are grouped into chapters. Each chapter has a dedicated file in the folder src/Levels/
. To create a new chapter, you can copy one of the existing files, bump the chapter number and add it to the allChapters
list in Levels.purs
. Each chapter comes with a specific list of transformers
(functions). As an example, we look at map (Yellow ↦ Red)
in Chapter0.purs
:
"replaceYbyR" :> {
name: "map {Yellow}↦{Red}",
function: replaceSingle Yellow Red
}
Here, replaceYbyR
is an internal ID which is used to identify the transformer, map {Yellow}↦{Red}
is the displayed name of the transformer ({x}
will be replaced by a small cube of color x
) and replaceSingle Yellow Red
is the implementation of the transformer. The function
field in the record has to be of type Transformer
, where
type Stack = List Cube
type Wall = List Stack
type Transformer = Wall -> Wall
Consequently, a Transformer
is a function that transforms a 2D array of cubes (Wall
). Some basic transformers are given in Transformer.purs
.
Each level is given by a record like
"0.2" :-> {
name: "Level title",
help: Just "...",
difficulty: Easy,
initial: [[Yellow, Yellow, Red], [Yellow, Red], ...],
target: [[Red], [Red], [Red], [Red], [Red], [Red]]
}
where 0.2
is the Chapter.Level
ID of the level, name
is the title of the puzzle, help
is the help text shown in the right panel, difficulty is Easy
, Medium
or Hard
and initial :: Wall
and target :: Wall
are the inital and target 2D arrays of cubes.
To view all levels with all shortest solutions for each (can be useful, among other things, to verify newly introduced levels can be solved as planned – and cannot be solved in another way which undermines their point):
gulp prod
node dist/cli.js
