Interesting gameplay! I think I a bug: I inserted the [8] and no match was found

            8
   7    [8]8 4   1
7 2 9 4 8 4 5 5 4 1

TY :)

I double checked my code, and it is correct... it searches for the upper left corner of each cell, and verifies other cell matches based on the "database" ... i have added a graphic layout for each match for each match code...

'_X_
'X_X
FOR I=1 TO 2
READ XSCORE(1,I),YSCORE(1,I)
NEXT I
DATA -1,2, 1,2

'X_X
'_X_
FOR I=1 TO 2
READ XSCORE(2,I),YSCORE(2,I)
NEXT I
DATA 2,0, 1,2

'X__
'_X_
'__X
FOR I=1 TO 2
READ XSCORE(3,I),YSCORE(3,I)
NEXT I
DATA 1,2, 2,4

'__X
'_X_
'X__
FOR I=1 TO 2
READ XSCORE(4,I),YSCORE(4,I)
NEXT I
DATA -1,2, -2,4

'XXX
FOR I=1 TO 2
READ XSCORE(5,I),YSCORE(5,I)
NEXT I
DATA 2,0,4,0

The code looks for a match of 3 in five different shapes...

Triangle up
Triangle down
Diagonal left
Diagonal right
Level

It checks for matches in that order, so you can get credit for the higher score...

... but it does the scan top to bottom, left to right, so it wont always catch the best scoring match...

Adding one more 8 to your example could score....

_8_8.......
4_8_4_5_5

Or
____8
___8_8_$
4_$_4_5_5

Or
____8
___8_$_$
4_8_4_5_5
