I Introduction
The Matching Game (commonly known as Pikachu Puzzle Game) includes a board of multiple cells, each of which
presents a figure. The player finds and matches a pair of cells that contain the same figure and connect each other
in some particular pattern. A legal match will make the two cells disappear. The game ends when all matching
pairs are found. Figure 1 shows some snapshots from the Pikachu Puzzle Game.
In this project, we will develop a simplified version of this Matching Game by remaking the game with characters
(instead of figures).

ground content corresponds to those emptied cells.
