Need help on making “Marble solitaire game 3D”. (not same game but exact same logic)
I really dont have an idea from where do i start.
If anybody know any assets for this game please do let me know.
Can i use “grid framework asset” for the same?
I would recommend starting out by creating a card shaped cube, and write a script to copy and stack them, you could do this with a for loop and instantiate.
Each card that you stack needs to be assigned a number and a card type, so that you could get the result 7 of clubs, or 3 of hearts.
Once you get a stacked deck of cards with their correct values, it will be easier to take the next step forward.
I’d actually suggest going the other way. Build a data structure first that represents the game. Tack on the graphics later.

Deck of cards for a marble game? LOL
As a disclaimer my post only makes sense if the second post is relevant. I didn’t google the game to find out what it’s about.
If it’s a physics based marbles game then starting with the actual representation of a marble makes sense. Forget data structures.
Here is the image of “Marble solitaire” game. The word “solitaire” is making confusion 
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Agree with you there BM in getting the structure and thought process down first.
Write down how you play it at each step and what u want to happen. Soon find as you build that up you will end up with small bunches of lines that can be lumped together and an outline process
Ie
select ball-
check for empty space 2 holes away with a ball inbetween
move ball
Remove ball jumped over
There’s a match 3 tutorial I’ve found by Grin Grim Tutorials, and there’s parts of that could be useful for checking adjacent neighbours on board.
I should get home later today ,and back to my pc, so ill find link and update here.
So it’s not a physics based game. In that awe start off with a data structure that will hold the positions of all marbles. Then work out al algorithm for testing the validity of a move. Then define win conditions. Build graphics right at the end. You should be able to have a prototype up in a day or so.
I have played the game, but our version used pins instead of marbles.
Thanks Obo Shape
Just started with the board and pins basic code.
Now my board is able to calculate which areas are filled and which ones are empty. And for the pins they all gather information about neighbours on board. Its a very rough code though, but atleast i got started.
@ BoredMormon : i am also using pins in my game (by the way do you have any other name for this game?)
Thanks
Chinese checkers I think
