==Known issues==
* Somehow chains can be continued out of nowhere.
* Don't complete the final puzzle, or the game will crash.
* Hints for things aren't intuitive.
* Slow in Citra.


===Game===
==Changelog==
'''v0.2.0'''
* Goal Marker in Score mode type lines.
* Updated replay file format and made replays better.
* Support for more skill chain techniques.
* The engine is now more timed like the original games.
* In endless mode you level up now with the number of panels removed.
* Timeout values are now more based on the original.


*New concept of "Chain link" (clink) in which you match groups of 3 or more rapidly before blocks are removed from the board.
'''v0.1.5'''
*Ability to save replies of your game (For my debugging pleasure really!)
* Fixed: Clinks matches were off by 1.
* Fixed: No visible panels / markers in replay.
* Fixed: Gameover panels were corrupted.
* Changed: Recolors of a panel set have been grouped together to access these use left/right when selecting a panel set.


===Puzzle Editor===
'''v0.1.4'''
* New: Panel marker graphics (Credit: SRKTiberious).
* New: More panel graphics (Credit: The Wolf Bunny).
* Fixed: Can now perform "Slip" skill chain.


*Puzzle editor is complete find the source code here I have already ported all puzzles from tetris attack to my format via my level editor.
'''v0.1.3'''
**For the Tetris Attack example puzzles see: bottomless-block-puzzles
* Changed: Speed settings for cursor.
*You can download the windows version of the level editor here. My hope for this is for people to create and share puzzles, if it catches on I will have the app be able to easily download new puzzles from a central location.
*For linux systems I have included instructions on how to compile the program with cmake.
*I still need someone to produce a binary for Mac systems. But I assume a similar method as described in the repo can be used, just install wxWidgets and use cmake.


== Roadmap ==
'''v0.1.2'''
As of now the basic engine is complete, work is now being done implementing the various modes. Basic graphics are used now until better ones are found/made. Game Modes that will be supported
* New: New panel set and panel set selection in Endless mode config (Credit: SRKTiberious).
* Endless Barrage - Play until you lose.
* Fixed: You could double swap a panel over a gap.
* Score Barrage - Get the highest score in a certain amount of time/lines.
* Fixed: More speed adjustments.
* Puzzle Barrage - Solve all puzzles in a certain amount of moves (Normal and Action modes)
* Fixed: Top-out board "jittered" when performing a combo or chain and was still topped out.
* Mission Barrage - Similar to the same mode in the Puyo Pop games
* Fixed: Same as above but the panels immediately switched to normal when it should have the "up" frame.
* Versus Barrage - 2 player game with AI (and possibly online play) New Gameplay features
* Fixed: Gameover's should not occur when there is a pending falling panel or pending swapped panel.
* Introducing C-Links (Chain Links) in which you match groups of 3 or more rapidly before blocks are removed from the board.
* Fixed: If you swapped a panel and it fell and while doing this you got a gameover the fallen panel wouldn't have the gameover frame.

* Fixed: Removed the 2px spacing between panels, updated border and selector graphics.
=== Prerequisites ===
* Fixed: Panels now fall a little faster when a match was made below it, before there was some delay that shouldn't have been there.
* Compiling cia and 3ds targets requires having [https://github.com/profi200/Project_CTR makerom] and [https://github.com/Steveice10/bannertool bannertool] in your $PATH
* Changed: Per feedback left Chains as Chains, A new concept of a chain-link (or clink) is when you match panels in rapid succession.
* [https://github.com/xerpi/sf2dlib sf2dlib] is required along with [https://github.com/xerpi/sfillib sfillib] with [https://github.com/xerpi/3ds_portlibs portlibs]
* devkitPro and [https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib ctrulib]
# Once all of the above is in order simply type make and you will get .elf for citra, .3dsx for homebrew launcher, .cia for emunand, and .3ds for gateway/sky3ds.
# If you care not to build everything then just type make [elf, cia, 3ds, 3dsx] to build the corresponding format, or make citra to run it in citra (requires citra to be installed and in your $PATH)


==Contributing==
'''v0.1.0'''
*If you find a bug with endless mode, please intentionally lose and then save a replay. Replays are saved on the sd card in folder bbb-moves/ on the root of your sd card. Send me the replay file.
* First release.
*If you want to make your own puzzles for puzzle mode (upcoming) have a look at bottomless-block-builder here
* Endless mode implementation.
*I could use an artist just about everything was generated, or made by me (with the exception of the panels and border). See https://drive.google.com/open?id=1R-YQ4TT5hY9X3aqFWqW52wRc_LmMH8FDOBfWJ_8MDFc for formats of images.
*Also music.
*As far as code goes, if you want to help go on ahead, the codebase right now is kinda a mess and has several dependencies.
*If you have any ideas pitch them here.
*Feedback is appreciated at this point, I only released this now as a minimum viable product to get comments.
