The red ball goes through turquoise jump blocks as if they weren't there, so in the same manner it can pass through cyan lasers.

Otherwise, the lasers kill you?

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.

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.

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

Indeed.

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.

That sounds awesome. As for the name, how about "File not Found"?

Name idea:

EXE.TXT.RAR.ZIP

Yes. But the file type dosen't show. You would not see the .exe part.

However that name would set off some antivirus thingies.

What time is it?

Time for a Three Colours update.

The gra/ey thing on the right may appear to not depend on the color, but it does. I just took the screenshot at a bad time.

The background is gorgeous. Where did you find it? If you made it, you're awesome.

Blast!10 · Post by **Blast!10** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 10:25 am

I made a simple clouds + gradient background in Photoshop, and then used the Game Maker function

Code: Select all

draw_set_blend_mode(bm_add);

to make it blend awesomely.

This looks interesting... those transparent black walls... how do those work?

In the stars picture-Do I see block color changers?

I think you have to change the colour of your player so you can solid on the platform If not you go though

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.
The walls themselves are black, though I have transparent blocks too, which do something different.

Now that I'm back from the camp, it's time for another Three Colours update.

The sharp-eyed among you will easily notice what's unusual in the attached picture:

TP. This thread is dead.

Can you guess what this little guy does?

It's dead probably until you release a demo.

FINE.

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

Well, I'll download when I get on my computer. XD
