Abstract
A method for playing a block-stacking game is executed in an apparatus showing an array and blocks of different types and allowing at least one player to stack the blocks in the array. The blocks are displayed in the array in sequence, and only one block is moved from a top side toward a bottom side of the array in a period of time. After stacking, adjacent blocks of the same type are erased. The apparatus includes an input module allowing at least one player to input control command for executing the method, an operational module receives control command from the input module, and a display module. The operational module includes an operational section that executes operational procedures of the method and a storage section that stores resultant data of the operational procedures. The display module receives result output by the operational module and displays the result to the player.
