Your game is shaping up nicely, but there’s still a way to go before it's finished. For now give yourself a cookie for making it through part one!

In the next part, you’ll work on detecting swipes, swapping cookies and finding cookie chains. You're in for a treat ;]

While you eat your cookie, take a moment to let us hear from you in the forums!

Portions of the source code were inspired by Gabriel Nica's Swift port of the game.
