hello i want to make a candy crush style game how can i do it

There’s a lot of work going into a game such as candy crush! But for the basics you need:

• Spawn items in a grid
• Detect user input (mouse+touch)
• Check if items in the grid match (3, 4, 5 in a row etc)
• Remove items
• Spawn more items and let them fall down

I suggest studying some of the examples to get an understanding of the basics of the above things:

• Spawning items using a factory: Spawn game object
• Animate game objects (falling items): Tween animation
• Detect user input: Mouse and touch events

Also study the color slide tutorial:

• Colorslide tutorial

And the manuals for a deeper understanding:

• Introduction to Defold

Finally I’ve made a match-3 engine/component that you can base things on or get inspired by:

• Code: https://github.com/britzl/emthree
• Demo: Emthree 0.1

I guess, platformer and match-3 are the genres every game developer should make eventually.
