- alex_duf 2y agothat was fun! It would be nice to show my colour next to the result to compare a little more.
- Yujf 2y agoHah I played twice and did not meaningfully inprove my score. Even after seeing the color I could not match it up close enough, and the first time I got pretty close to most colors.
- istjohn 2y agoI would love this with a limited, accurate color list. It would be a fun way to learn more obscure colors like chartreuse, ochre, and sienna. I'd particularly like to learn the colors that are likely to come up in literature (e.g., [0]). As it is, I got "Jaycey's Favorite" as one of the colors. 0. https://www.vocabulary.com/lists/141957 https://www.vocabulary.com/lists/141957
- ksymph 2y ago> How is the score calculated? Oh man, this was harder than I thought. Color is such a deceptively dangerous rabbit hole. A few months ago I entered a game jam intending to make a small pokemon-like where you collect colors rather than creatures. E.g. instead of fire>grass>water it would be red>green>blue, with randomly generated colors of any shade and about half a dozen 'types'. Trying to figure out the math of that nerd sniped me for a couple weeks, didn't even get started on the rest of the game before the jam ended.
