Trio Match - Version Two!
Saturday, September 1, 2007

About a month before I began programming Flash games and puzzles, I created a game on The Problem Site called "Trio Match". I was very pleased with the premise of the game, and have had a variety of very positive feedback from people who have played the game - either as part of a classroom activity, or just for fun at home.
But because I hadn't yet started programming Flash, the game structure was quite cumbersome - every player action resulted in the entire page being refreshed. Not a big deal if you're on a high speed connection, but still not a great system.
So, when I started learning Flash, I looked back at Trio Match and shook my head. What was I thinking, trying to program a game as complex as that without using a tool like Flash?
So I started recreating the game as a Flash app. I made good progress on the game, but then got sidetracked by another project which needed my attention.
Today I stumbled across that almost-finished-flash-project, and decided to finish it.
It turns out I was even closer to finished than I realized. The result is a much smoother game, and it should be much more fun to play.
If you experience any difficulties with the new version of the game, please post a comment here, or send me an email!
