Brainstorming for Poppit: Summary Document Problem Statement: That there are unknown strategies for the game Poppit. We would like to research, develop and test ideas for effective popping strategies, then evaluate which are most effective. Strategies will be procedure driven and executed in an algorithm to promote consistency.

Chunking methodology

Largest Chunk- Choosing the largest chunk of balloons
 * Find the largest chunks of balloons
 * Pop the Chunk
 * If a tie occurs pop the chunk farthest to the left
 * If a tie further occurs by color order RBGYV

Smallest Chunk – Choosing the smallest chunk of balloons
 * Find the smallest chunks of balloons
 * Pop the Chunk
 * If a tie occurs pop the chunk farthest to the left
 * If a tie further occurs by color order RBGYV

Exclusive Color Priority- Trying to eliminate one color at a time
 * Pop all violet balloon sets; if none then
 * Pop all Blue balloon sets; if none then
 * Pop all yellow balloon sets; if none then
 * Pop all red balloon sets; if none then
 * Pop all green balloon sets;

Quadrant- Pop all balloons in a quadrant before moving on to the next quadrant Pop all balloons in quadrants of the board Quadrants are 7 by 5. These are the various quadrents that could be tried.

1 3 | 1  3 | 1 2 | 4 3 | 2 3 | 4 2  2  4 | 4  2 | 3 4 | 1 2 | 4 1 | 3 1 Out- In – pop balloons from edges in each column before popping the middle

In-Out- pop balloons in the middle before the edges sequentially

Top- Down - pop balloon sets on top and work down the rows sequentially

Down- Top –pop balloon sets on the bottom and work up the rows sequentially
