Live Wire

Place tiles to create circuits and connect components to score points. Only components on complete circuits will score.

 Watch out for resistors, they'll net you a loss in voltage (and points).

Click a highlighted tile to select a placement location.

Click a card below to select one to play.

Click play to place a card.

Each time you play you'll automatically draw another card. Play continues until you're out of cards. The first (tutorial) level only has one card to play but from level 2 onwards you'll have enough cards to fill the board.

Scoring:

To add up your score, follow the wires from each of your battery's positive(+) terminals and add 5 points per light bulb you pass through and subtract 5 points for each resistor (zigzag) you pass through, but only if the wire eventually reaches your battery's negative terminal(-) (or edge of the board for easier mode).

Please note, I'm aware of the following issues:

• Lack of default tile images and displayed debug info on each empty tile.
• Error where certain tile combinations cause the game to exceed the browser's max call stack capacity (might be fixed now)
• Need to get rid of the tile borders to allow tiles to match up and display larger
• Need to add option for card rotation for better playability
• Scores don't calculate correctly
• Game doesn't validate selection locations (if you hit play twice you may lose a card)
