What's Wrong with this Picture?
I snapped this screenshot of Bejeweled 3 right after the words "No more moves" appeared and right before the gems exploded off the screen. See anything wrong?
Double-ewe tee eff, Popcap. Double-ewe tee eff.
(For those interested in what causes this bug to occur, it sometimes happens during a cascade. In the middle of the cascade, the words "no more moves" appear, yet the cascade continues. When it finally comes to rest, there might still be moves, but the "game over" flag has already been tripped. It appears that their algorithm that checks for game over conditions only checks if valid swaps can be made, and does not check if gems are already matched.)
