- nitrogen 17y agoVery cool. This would probably work for any tile-based game by assigning a unique color for each tile. The original NES Zelda comes to mind.
- derefr 17y agoI experienced precisely this effect, in a before-and-after style, as a gameplay element yesterday. The game started with lots of visual detail, but began to "degrade" as you advanced through it, and at 100% completion every tile was replaced by a single-colored block. (The game was "REDDER": http://www.auntiepixelante.com/?p=540 http://www.auntiepixelante.com/?p=540)
- mquander 17y agoHoly crap, nice game! Hats off to you.

- jazzychad 17y agoI need to buy some Arduinos, stat!
- jrockway 17y agoA regular computer can draw red and orange squares and accept inputs from buttons too. If you really want to do a hardware project, get an Arduino, but you can easily play with ideas like this without any hardware. And you won't have to write your code in C.
- jazzychad 17y agoWell, I am a C coder at heart and worked on embedded systems not so long ago. This would be right up my alley as a hardware project :)
- smackfu 17y agoYeah, but it looks a lot cooler when the orange squares real.
- _mattb 17y agoThe arduino's got so many built in methods via Wiring that coding's really not bad. Shockingly easy at times..
- SpacemanSpiff 17y agoLooks like the levels and perhaps the idea are based on "Super Pixel Bros" game: http://hackaday.com/2010/02/19/update-most-interesting-game-in-64-pixels/ http://hackaday.com/2010/02/19/update-most-interesting-game-... Here's a youtube progress update: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avvba3prLlc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avvba3prLlc Pretty awesome if you ask me.
- patrickgzill 17y agoI was a little surprised because I thought everyone knew that if you bumped one of the first blocks with your head, you got a coin ...

- pnz 17y agowhy does she talk like homestar runner?
- pmichaud 17y agoIt sounds like she may have some minor hearing problems, but I think your social disabilities probably have a much greater affect on you than her disability has on her.
- albemuth 17y agoto bad she didn't hook it up to a NES controller, should have been trivial no?
- charlesju 17y agoI'm waiting for someone to port this onto a building using the lights as LEDs.
