How do you build a functional 3x3 Sliding Picture Game in Microsoft PowerApps?

In this new technical walkthrough, I go under the hood of the logic and code behind the game. I cover workarounds that are challenging for developers who come from procedural languages and robust IDEs—especially when handling the lack of native debugging and standard looping constructs.

How do you build a functional 3x3 Sliding Picture Game in Microsoft PowerApps?

In this new technical walkthrough, I go under the hood of the logic and code behind the game.

Key technical topics covered:

- Using the "Inverse Check"
- Using Timer objects
- Referencing object properties instead of hardcoding values
- Global vs. Context variables
