Block Blast Solver

By

I recently launched Block Blast Solver, a small web-based tool that helps players figure out the best move when they get stuck in the game. It’s live and fully functional where user can simply upload a screenshot of their board or enter the layout manually to get suggested placements.

Like many players, I kept losing good runs because the board suddenly became impossible to read that frustration alone made me wonder if a tool could analyze the board and help find the best moves. Even experienced players lose runs because it’s difficult to evaluate all possibilities quickly. The solver analyzes the board and suggests moves that help keep space open and extend the run.
The tricky part while building it was screenshot detection. Different phones, resolutions, board themes, cropping styles made it hard to reliably read the board. After experimenting with simpler image-processing approaches, switched to a YOLO-based detection model which made the recognition much more consistent and accurate.

It’s still early, but the goal is to keep improving the detection, speed and strategy suggestions. Happy to hear feedback from other builders or anyone who has worked on game solvers or similar tools.
