if it simply took theirs and doubled it, then can probs use siphon pong to get whatever high number you want, drop with X(I call it that because in candy box 2, u can't come out of X potion with surplus hp remaining afaik. and if u play 17 then X, it becomes 83 which makes X shape around itself), and pick up with tweezers to make it permanent (for that round, which could last forever). I'm pretty sure I mentioned tournament opponent using 11*17 before but I've always thought that even if it didn't place down corners (this is so weird. just imagine how useful 11*23 could be, creating framework...uhh, I don't wanna say scaffolding since I'm about to mention Lunar Base – Minecraft Wiki and scaffolding means smths specific in Minecraft. whtv. just imagine 19*23 where the * is like applying that bomberman powerupgrade), that's fine since I just wanna make full use of four surround. I mean, 83 already infiltrates like xiangqi knight. now I'm thinking of some other way to satisfy this ocd, like if rules changed so that you can always play over your own non-frozen tiles. that way, can insert a 17, then use 19*11 to clear surrounding enemies while filling the space created with your own, much like 41. oh and btw, 83 and tweezers can open up some rare options that are never gonna be used. 77's spawns can overwrite fires, so I thought, why not destroy your own fragiles to "upgrade" them with immune modifier. then pick up center (tweezers can be used on any tile you own, even if it's immune. to test, go back to first lv, remove your own spawn, and you're trapped without 97. like bongcloud opening challenge) to place 83 there, making a defensive 3x3 bunker formation (the clones of 77 are like tortoise shell that protects 83 from opponent seeking to insert 19 into its armpit). ofc, such a rare situation would never happen, so 99% of games you'll just grab a 17(83 doesn't spawn copies of itself) from 83 to keep for the rest of the game. tweezers cost nothing to use so it could serve as an opening play for rematch71map right side (83+0+17=100 perfectly spends all your energy. element X gang   jk). but for left side, you can just not bring tweezers which are too fancy and go with the classic 17 83 to help right side enter the fianchetto thing... but speaking of using 17 83 to escape lower right corner spawn, that might actually be useful for/on a tournament map I remember... at a quick glance, just see 61 71 97 map

ugh, I wasted way too much time trying to get the rng just right. dev plz release sandbox mode... I'm too lazy to learn how to set up a save state machine for unity games (idk how to do it in general)
