Lets think through the basics and bounce it off of Yuichi.
I imagine a one board grid where selecting the button would unhide the picture, the next selection would unhide another picture, if a match occurs some animation would highlight the success and the pictures would stay exposed. If no match then the pictures are recovered.
Variables:
no. players
whose turn
pick one or two
each grid square needs a variable, covered, exposed, selected on current turn
something to keep track of whether any unexposed grids remain etc.
The logic would best be handled in a macro which could called from each of the grid buttons. This makes the implementation and editing much simpler.
The next step would be randomizing the images under the buttons at initialization, maybe with a picture library much larger than the number of pairs. I wonder if there is a way to take a subset of the MJ symbol library.
I will leave it at that for now. Katie, I'll send you a friend request. I hope that Yuichi will comment.
