Flipper II 2025 Game

[Hutchboy]

Hi,

I've attached a modernized version of an old HyperCard game reimplemented as a LiveCode stack. This implementation adds a "Solve" button that lets the computer try to find the optimal solution. It will step through each flip if you select that option.

The stack script includes User Interface layout scripts but I've commented out the calling functions after I created the stack the first time. I've left the code in so you can peruse it should you want revise it to your liking.

Fun concept... just a bit too hard with words much longer than 5 chars, let alone phrases lol

Mike.

I play Scrabble, and so was interested in the idea of shuffling letters around to find words. So I entered "YRD", thinking I would see the program invert those letters to "DRY". But it didn't, it switched them around back to "YRD".

Maybe I am not playing this properly. I entered "ERITD", thinking I would get back "TIRED" or "TRIED", but it ended up back at "ERITD".

it's how many letters you flip counting from the first (left) char.
Flipping ERITD by 3 will give you IRETD
Flipping ERITD by 4 will give you TIRED (unless I've grossly misunderstood)

OK, I did not understand the game, I guess.
