Thanks. I’ve just wasted 2 hours.

Loved the game.

To make it generate winnable games just start from a solution and keep expanding it until you get to the initial game state.

Glad you enjoyed!

Could you elaborate on 'start from a solution and keep expanding it'? I thought of it more like checking the field for certain patterns that tell if it can't be solved and generating fields until one passes that check.

    Start with 4 different color cubes, each with the value of 128.

    Then just keep splitting them until you have a full the game. You'll need some intelligence in deciding which cubes to split and where to stack the split cube.

    But if you reach a state where you can't split anymore you can must backtrack and try again.
