Candy Crush Clone

Build a polished native iOS clone of Candy Crush Saga in SwiftUI and SpriteKit: the real name, logo look, candies, words, board and map, with one change. Lives never run out, and there are no ads.

Home screen name "Candy Crush". Logo (SwiftUI): "Candy" over "Crush" in chunky rounded candy letters, orange-to-yellow, thick chocolate outline, white gloss, a pink heart and a pink "SAGA" tag. Where lives would be, a glossy pink heart with a white "∞". No lives count, timers, gold bars, boosters for sale, shop or ads anywhere.

SCREENS
1. Play (opens here: no splash, login or prompts). Pink HUD: left "6 | ♥ ∞" over the moves left, a big crimson italic "10"; centre a star bar (3 stars; every level starts at 0 with none lit, except HOOK MODE's Level 6, which starts with one) over the hot-pink goal pill, a red jelly bean and "12" counting down to a green check; right a round badge with the big ∞ heart, 70 pt. A 7x9 board of translucent navy tiles on the candy-land backdrop. Pause (bottom left): Resume, Restart, Map.
Candy Crush rules: swap neighbours (no match slides back); 4 in a line make a Striped Candy, an L or T a Wrapped Candy, 5 in a row a Colour Bomb; Colour Bomb + Striped Candy turns every candy of that colour striped and fires them all. Chains repeat; a move counts when its chain settles. Praise by chain: 2 "Sweet!", 3 "Tasty!", 4 "Delicious!", 5+ or any Colour Bomb combo "Divine!", each word about 85% of the board's width; small floating score numbers (about 13 pt) in candy colours that rise about 24 pt and fade out within 0.6 s.
2. Level end: "Sugar Crush!": each move left flies from the moves number onto a candy as a Striped Candy and fires, 0.12 s apart. Then "Level 6 complete!", three stars pop in turn, the score rolls up, "Next".
3. Map: a candy-land valley (generated art); a pink-and-white candy-cane path through 15 glossy round pink level buttons: 1-5 with gold stars (3, 3, 2, 3, 1), 6 current with a bobbing ∞ heart marker, 7-15 locked. Top: "♥ ∞" pill, the logo, "★ 12". After a win the stars pop and the marker hops on.
4. Level card (from a node): "Level 7", "Collect 30" with a green gumdrop, "22 moves", empty stars, a glossy magenta "Play", "♥ ∞ lives", and "Tip: Colour Bomb + Striped Candy clears lines!"
5. Out of moves: "Out of moves!", a big glossy "∞" over "lives left", "Play again" (straight back in) and "Map". No out-of-lives screen, +5 moves offer or timer, ever.
Fixtures: 15 levels (7x9, 18-30 moves, goal colour and count, star scores, seed); Level 6 is the HOOK board, 10 moves, collect 12 red.

SIGNATURE MOMENTS (filmed)
- Swaps slide in 0.18 s; pops burst into sparkles; falls squash and bounce.
- The combo: lightning arcs from the Colour Bomb; each Striped Candy fires a bright glowing beam as tall as a cell (white core, the candy's colour at the edges) that shoots to both board edges in 0.12 s and fades over 0.2 s (Sugar Crush's beams too); wrapped candies blow with a pink shockwave.
- "Divine!" and "Sugar Crush!" in big glossy candy letters, springing 0.4x to 1.15x to 1.0x; counters roll with numericText.

HOOK (the video's first 3 seconds)
- HOOK MODE: tapping an invisible 44x44 pt area at the top right, just below the status bar, plays a scripted 4-second run through the real swap and match code, identical every time. At 0.0 it resets Level 6 to this board, rows top to bottom (R red, O orange, Y yellow, G green, B blue, P purple, X Colour Bomb, r red Striped Candy (horizontal), v wrapped yellow, w wrapped blue): OGYRPGO ORYvBRO BPGYPYY YPGOROB OOXrPYG GRBRBOG RBYGPPB RGRBwGB PBYPROR; moves 10, goal 12. 0.6: a soft white touch circle drags the Colour Bomb (row 5, column 3) right into the Striped Candy over 0.4 s, lifted to 1.45x the whole way with a soft drop shadow, a bright glow and a 3-ghost trail. 1.0: it lands, settling back to 1.0x with a squash. 1.1-1.5: arcs to the 11 other reds, which turn striped, alternating vertical and horizontal in reading order, starting vertical. 1.65: all 12 fire in reading order, 0.05 s apart; both wrapped candies go off; all 63 cells clear. 2.3: "Divine!" and the refill, rows top to bottom: PPYBBRR RPRYYBY OOYOGBB YGPRYOY OPYOBBG GGBRPGO GBBGGPR ORYGOPO GRPPYRB; goal check, three stars; moves 10 to 9 at 3.1; "Sugar Crush!" at 3.8.
- "Divine!" replaces any earlier word and holds 1.3 s at full opacity; nothing starts until it fades. Flashes at most 0.12 s at 35% white. Specials are the size of other candies. Motion stays in the middle 80% of the screen.

LOOK
Sky-blue candy-land backdrop #6DD4F7 (generated art). HUD pink #F9C9E1 to #FAA8D3 with white stripes; goal pill #F880C0; moves #C8235E; star bar blue #30BCE4 on pink #F960A6; stars #FFD23F. Magenta pill buttons. Candies, glossy and jelly-like (gpt-image-1, transparent): red jelly bean #E8202A, orange lozenge #F19105, yellow lemon drop #FAE80C, green square gumdrop #43BB01, blue lollipop-head sphere #4F96FE, purple flower #C602FC; a wrapped one of each (twisted cellophane); the Colour Bomb, a chocolate ball with rainbow sprinkles. Stripes drawn in SpriteKit: white bands clipped to the candy's shape.

RULES
- Native SwiftUI + SpriteKit at 60 fps, iOS 26 (keep the template's target), iPhone portrait; it must also run on iPhone Duo.
- Deterministic fixtures. No backend, login, permissions, analytics or network calls. No persistence: delete the SwiftData starter, no UserDefaults or files, so every launch starts the same.
- Art: run env, then gpt-image-1 with the project's OPENAI_API_KEY at $OPENAI_BASE_URL/images/generations, into the asset catalog; curl-check files, never review them by eye. No characters, people or logos in images.
- Preload textures off the main thread and warm up haptics at launch.
- Springs under 350 ms, haptics on swaps, no dead buttons.
- Files under 300 lines, big bodies split into subviews, no long chained expressions.

REMIX-READY
Brand.swift (name, logo, Copy enum with every word), Theme.swift (colours, fonts; no colour literals elsewhere), Fixtures.swift (levels), DemoScript.swift (HOOK board, refill, timings). Codable models behind a LevelSource protocol feeding one @Observable GameStore; candy kinds as an enum. README.md under 80 lines: file map; rename, recolour, add a level or candy; 3 one-prompt remixes that re-niche it. "Read README.md first." atop CLAUDE.md and ios/AGENTS.md; replace ios/CLAUDE.md's structure block with this app's files. No scratch folders.

FILMING
Long-press the map's logo to reset to launch. Long-press the moves number to set moves to 1.

BUILD
Theme, Brand, Fixtures, then the board engine and each screen in small files, a one-line status per screen; launch in the simulator every two or three files. Art only after the app runs. Check the HOOK board with a quick script. Walk each flow once and fix what breaks; no pixel measuring. Deliver the whole app, not a plan.
