Any Match 3 tutorials exist?

I've been looking high and low and unless I'm missing something (which is entirely possible) I haven't seen any tutorials for a Bejeweled type match 3 game anywhere. I've seen the kits on the asset store but I'm wanting to find a tutorial to take me through the basic mechanics.

Does anyone know of any out there either video or text?

Thanks for any help.

 

Making a match 3 game IS possible as I have done it.

Match Cubed

What I've done is create a Tile component that is applied to a Block prefab. A WorldGenerator script stores a Tile array. To find out which block is selected I've made a bool array. When I want the code to find blocks that match, I make it first check each side of a block. Each block that is similar will be added to a List<int> that stores the index of each block and there is also a temporary bool array to show if a tile's index has been checked already. Next I start a "while" loop that continuously checks those first few blocks to see if they have any similar blocks. That will keep branching out until it finds no more blocks. That function will return the list of indices so that the blocks/tiles can be selected and each Tile's GameObject can be sent a message to glow/unglow.

 

Hiya, I recently made a match-three game. It's super basic compared to the above example and Bejeweled (for example only three matches, nothing greater than three).

It might be useful to you though. I documented the different versions as I went through developing it in my blog here.

Pretty basic but it might help out?
