RexBoard Match And Puzzle

Use this skill for symbol and pattern matching on a RexBoard board.

Use This First

Choose the matching style:

Need	Use
Same-symbol line	`match(3, callback)` or another length
Specific pattern	`match(['A', 'A', 'B'], callback)`
Any-match validation	`anyMatch(...)`
Connected same-symbol group	`group(tileX, tileY)`
Symbols stored on chess objects	`refreshSymbols(callback)`

Match reports tile coordinates. Game code still swaps pieces, removes chess, spawns replacements, and animates results.

Required Setup

This skill assumes a RexBoard Board or LogicBoard exists. If symbols live on chess objects, use rexboard-board-and-chess first.

References

Read these only when needed:

references/match-config.md: setup, config fields, callbacks, and methods.
references/match-patterns.md: fixed-length, array, wildcard, direction mask, and group matching.
references/match-recipes.md: reduced recipes for matching symbols from chess, test swaps, and group rules.

Core Rules

Keep board occupancy and match symbols in sync.
Prefer refreshSymbols when symbols live on chess objects.
Use null for empty/no symbol; use an explicit wildcard symbol for wildcard behavior.
Use dirMask to limit which board directions are checked.
Do not expect Match to animate, destroy, or spawn game objects.

Gotchas

Direction indexes depend on grid mode; configure dirMask after choosing quad/hex grid behavior.
Test-swap workflows must restore the board if the swap is rejected.
