the graphics could use a little work

im not the xml guy... but I think you will run across problems with the nomenclature in terms of naming the bonus.

I think you should just use letters.. greek or western. Fist one "a" - "z" then "Aa"- zz"

Well no dip. I'm looking for concept/gameplay comments at the moment.

I'd have to disagree here. I definitely want to keep the row numbers as is, since that's what they are referred to with Pascal's Triangle. Greek letters aren't a bad idea for the columns, though.

As always, I appreciate all comments.

I think you misunderstand. I think aon means that the odd column(b,d,f..) should be a-z and the even colums(a,c,e..) should be A-Z.

Why...? I don't understand how that's much different from what I have now.

The bonuses seem out of control, if I'm reading it correctly. A +1 for every tert after 4 feels like too much.

Also, I think the gameplay would be not without similarities to ConquerFour. I can't be alone on that?

Your map also reminded me of MegaTouch's ConQuest (in a good way).

This was all meant to be construct even if I have no heart.

lol what do you mean you dont agree? Im saying... I dont think its possible... you might want to check. The bonuses have to be listed in the code.

I'll talk bout it later.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I really don;t see a future for this map. I've got nothing against Pascal, Fibonacci, or any other giants of the mathematical world, but this is a very difficult concept to translate into a good CC map.

Okay, I guess I should set my sights on a different map, then...

mrBenn is the authority on this type of stuff man...

but

I think if you got a picture or something... a map based on math might fly

the fab. pinnapple... or even something like this

There are a lot of beautiful nature things that run off of math. as a math teacher you know this. I say, find a beautiful picture and make your math map.;
