#22I would recommend removing "7" from the board at all. The easiest opening move is to just start clicking all the 7s (since that guarantees you all multiples of 7 until you run out of 7s). This strategy requires 0-thinking and is a bit tedious. If the board has no 7's on it, you're required to add from the get-go. EDIT: Also, very fun little game. Thanks for sharing!
That only works until you hit 21, thats a multiple of 3 and you lose.

#23You should polish this up and release it on the app store! It has that perfect mix of fun and challenge to keep you entertained when you're waiting for something and its conveniently easy to pick up and play also.

Looks like the cells are randomly populated, so my first attempt, I only had three '7's. I had a ton of '9's so I used the 10-10-9-9-9-9.... strategy to safely get me to a higher score, and then did a little math from there to hit each multiple of 7 on the way up.
Definitely a fun little distraction, I should be working though.

#25The grid doesn't appear properly in Firefox for me. clear your floats in the scoreboard. Other than that, looks pretty cool. EDIT: actually it also seems to not work in Firefox in general after refreshing the page
I confirm. Broken in Firefox.

#26That is pretty cool. It would be handy if I can see the multiples of 7 that I have used already. That way I can figure out what to work towards next.
That's a great idea! The trick will be finding a place to display it. Maybe I'll add a button next to the score, and clicking it will reveal an overlay with played numbers.
You could just display the smallest multiple of seven that hasn't been used yet.

#27@zsch I refactored your code using OOP and the factory design pattern. In this form it is much easier to alter the logic of the game. https://github.com/deckar01/mod7/tree/refactor and https://github.com/deckar01/mod7/tree/penalty-fives

#28Nice game. I would suggest a "subtraction" option.
If you click on a number and the sum is neither a multiple of 7 or 3, then how bout you allow the user to click on a selected number again to deselect it and subtract its value from the sum.

Also, why is sum=3 not a fail case?

It is in his repo, it just isn't in the hosted version yet.
