So... wait a second. There is no cyan color for the ball, so does touching it with blue stop the ball on the laser or kill it? Or does the same happen with green? Plus, we're referring to them as lasers, but they have a striking resemblance to gates from RTW, do which do they act as?
Or if you don't want to answer my mass of questions, you can just tell us to wait until the game comes out.

Touching the laser when you are blue or green (which are the ingredients of pure cyan) will kill you. When you're red you can pass through it as if it didn't exist.~xpr'd~ wrote:So... wait a second.

Think about it like a pair of 3D glasses: if you look only through the red side, blue things will appear very dark and red things will appear very bright. The red ball can react only to colors that have red in them.
I'll be honest now: they were originally programmed to act as gates from RTW, and I never actually thought of the laser idea until Muzozavr said it.~xpr'd~ wrote:Plus, we're referring to them as lasers, but they have a striking resemblance to gates from RTW, do which do they act as?

The laser idea is better than the gate idea since it allows for better color-switching challenges.
I did put in some surprises, which I will not reveal in this thread~xpr'd~ wrote:Or if you don't want to answer my mass of questions, you can just tell us to wait until the game comes out.

I have started a new side project, which I'm working on in addition to Three Colours. It doesn't have a name yet, but it has to do with manipulating files and one of its primary inspirations is Inward Hellix.
The game will tell you what file to create next. Except it will attempt to trap you in places where you are too gullible.
Picture below in attachment.
If anyone has ideas for names, post them here. I'm thinking of E-404 myself, but if anyone has some better ideas I'll be glad to hear them.
Note that Three Colours is independent of this and is still being worked on.

I made a simple clouds + gradient background in Photoshop, and then used the Game Maker function
to make it blend awesomely.
Code: Select all
draw_set_blend_mode(bm_add);

The blocks aren't transparent – the clouds are. They're simply on top of everything and use an alpha channel, which causes the illusion you see.Muzozavr wrote:This looks interesting... those transparent black walls... how do those work?
The walls themselves are black, though I have transparent blocks too, which do something different.

Clicky to download Demo 1 (2.6 MB) which doesn't actually reveal much of the game but enough to warm you up

I can play it but I'm addicted to some project I'm working on
