I'm sorry. I will add a color-blind friendly palette.
- darkvertex 4y agoYea, even better: distinct iconography. A circle and a triangle, for example.
- Bedon292 4y agoThis would be great. It looks like at the top end there might be a third stone. So square, triangle, circle. And where they go on the board marked with the same shape would be very intuitive even with no color at all.
- eutectic 4y agoI think square, circle, octagon would make the most sense. Or maybe diamond (rotated square) instead of octagon. That way adjacent stone would always touch.
- pmontra 4y agoOr two different shapes, because there are too many different color blindnesses. Board games started marking counters many years ago. Sometimes their colors are so similar even for non color blind people. I couldn't get a black from dark blue counter two nights ago, the light at the table was not great. And yellow looked a pale gray. Examples for the game: the red stone could have a empty circle mark on the top it, the green one could have a circle with a dot inside. The destination squares would be marked with the empty circle and the dotted circle.
- GordonS 4y agoOh, different shapes would be even better!
- kuboble 4y agoI have made a very quick-fix for colorblindness at https://kuboble.com/beta/ https://kuboble.com/beta/ I'll try to come up with something better in the long term
- jcynix 4y agoThanks, looks much better. Ideally we could choose the two colors from a set of four or five colors. Another option would be to use different forms, e.g. a round stone combined with a square one. Anyway, nice game!
- RobotCaleb 4y agoThe rule of thumb for this sort of thing is to never rely on color alone to convey important information. Shapes and patterns and textures are much preferable to simple color variations.
- mritchie712 4y agogood call. A triangle and square in the middle of each circle would eliminate the need for color all together.
- jamesk_au 4y agoI also had this experience, thank you for fixing it so quickly. The game is fun!
- VBprogrammer 4y agoLooks like you've reverted the changes at some point today. Which is a definite productity win for me!
- kuboble 4y agoI have made it configurable in the settings
