[4x3 contest] Red! Green! Blue!

My entry for the 4x3, not done yet, but pretty far along.

Lets see if you can tell what it is from the screenshot.

If you want, I think it's pretty clear though

Gotta use the red, green, and blue pixels to get as close to the target color as possible :3

Looks like it, nice one.

Ooh, I think I know what it is. I assume you have to press enter as soon as the color contrast is identical to the final block?

You might want to remove the spaces between blocks, though

(unless that's an emulator bug?)

I sent him a message about that. We were using the same method to get the block size right. Here is the code we use (I hope this small snippet is okay to share

)

Code Select

pixelW = platform.window:width()/4
pixelH = platform.window:height()/3

Of course, when drawn, with this code:

Code Select

gc:fillRect(x*pixelW, y*pixelH, pixelW, pixelH) the weird decimals you get after dividing the width and height draw things oddly.

The solution? Round the values!

Code Select

pixelW = math.ceil(platform.window:width()/4)
pixelH = math.ceil(platform.window:height()/3)

Keep in mind that you must not use other people's code, as the rules says, though. I guess one tiny routine is fine since, after all, we allow people to use Doors CSE8 BASIC libs, which were written by Kerm, but just making sure that people won't fill their game with other people's code. I am unsure if such entry would be disqualified, but if it wins then it's possible that the other person that provided code for you would win the prize and the contest instead of you.

I would also avoid posting code if I was you.

tr1p1ea also wrote those libs right...

u/Dream of Omnimaga May 01, 2015, 05:11:27 AM

Yeah true and Iambian wrote some Celtic libraries IIRC.

u/Unicorn May 02, 2015, 05:20:51 PM

I can't express how helpful those have become for me. All my games would look like junk without them!

u/Dream of Omnimaga May 02, 2015, 05:56:17 PM

On the 83+ we don't need them thankfully, due to faster screen refreshing and dual-layer ASCII support, but on the CSE ASCII just looks weird without color IMHO.
