ZUMA GARY

Or Gary's Magic Balls - that's what the developers called the game. Obviously, Gary is such a fun unicorn, using his horn as a cannon. He deftly strings colorful balls on it and throws them into a traveling ball garland. And of course, Gary's actions are directed by the player. Your task is to destroy the whole garland of colorful balls.

What is it that distinguishes this Lamp from many others? Algorithm for mixing balls. It uses the mechanism of thinning single-color chains with balls of a different color. By the way, this system has been gaining popularity in recent years, judging by the new, recently released Zooms. In practice, it looks like this. As part of the chain (garlands, snakes), twos, threes, fours, etc. are extremely rare. The program forcibly splits them into separate balls, mixing them with balls of a different color.

The result of this algorithm is a chain in which the bulk of the balls are single: blue, then green, then red, then yellow, and so on. Do you feel it? Now, in order to make a group of three identical balls from such a set (we remind you that this is the only way to knock out a fragment from a garland), you need to shoot at least 2 times. Together with a decent speed of movement of the garland, the above algorithm seriously complicates the elimination of not only the entire garland (and this is the goal of the game!), but also its individual fragments.
