Bathroom Business (2017)


A casual puzzle game made to be a boredom killer during bathroom time. The idea for Badkamer Bezigheden (“Bathroom Business”) was the result of a personal mathematical/algorithmic experiment. The player is shown a field of tri-coloured tiles, which may be moved around by swapping and mirroring the field’s rows and columns. The goal is to connect all tiles of the same colour with each other.

I started making this game in Clickteam Fusion 2.5 in 2015 (as seen in this video), but stopped working on it when I discovered that the engine didn’t offer proper support for indexing the tiles. In 2017 I decided to remake the project with my new-found knowledge of Java programming (as seen in the video above).

Without the limitations of the formerly used engine, I could write the code dynamically to make the game work with any field size. Theoretically, of course, since there’s not exactly enough space on a phone screen to show 2500 tiles.
