Scoring

[bradjensen68]

I could really use some help understanding scoring. I want to be able to show a simple score based on how many tiles the user has removed from the board. I spent a lot of time counting and reporting the number of tiles from func remove_matches_from_board only to discover that this is where the system removes matches before the game starts and is not the section of code related to the player's score.

Where do I find the score? Is it consumed_sequences? It seems like this is a very basic function and it would be nice to include that in the demo if you could. Thank you.

Hi @bradjensen68, the scoring can be implemented connecting to the following signals on the Match3Board class:

signal consumed_sequence(sequence: Match3Sequence)
signal consumed_sequences(sequences: Array[Match3Sequence])

This signals contains the Sequences that holds the information about the cell and pieces consumed in the board so the scoring logic can be built from there.

Yes, I could implement it in the demo to make it clearer, thanks for the request.
