How do I make stripes go the way I want????

Matching 4 sweets in a row gives a 

striped sweet of the same colour.

If you make the four sweet line by
moving a sweet up or down you will get
a vertically striped sweet.  (above)

If you get the four sweet combination by moving a sweet sideways you will get a horizontally striped sweet.

The striped candy will be left in the position of the candy that you moved.

When you match up the striped sweet it will clear a whole line of sweets in the direction of the stripes.

eg:  A vertically striped sweet will clear all sweets up and down from where the 

striped candy is.

If you combine two striped candies of any colour they will clear a horizontal AND vertical line! 
Ie: Up & down AND side to side!
This will occur from the square that you moved the sweet TO, this is important later in the game.

See the image above. 

If I move the orange striped sweet to 

the purple striped sweet the vertical 

line will be cleared where the PURPLE 

sweet is. And Vice verse. 

This works the same if the two striped 

sweets are above and below each 

other. Whichever sweet you move TO 

will be the line which is cleared.
