Zoombie Cubes

zoombies.inkverse.space:1966/

I wrote a little game. This is pre-alpha release, theres so much work to do, this was just my weekend project. If anyone has any recomendations I could probably work on it later. Figured I'd contribute a game to the Gemini Community.

P.s. Yes, I changed the name from the actual known game.

How do you play it? I don't know what the rolls mean and such, lol.

I forgot to add rules and descriptions lol

@clseibold thanks for the feedback, update with rules

@mrrobinhood5 Thanks! Much easier to understand now.

The only other thing is the colors are hard to distinguish (at least in lagrange). Green, yellow, and red are all pretty bad colors especially for those with mild to severe colorblindness, and red-green colorblindness is the most common form.

For example, I wouldn't be able to tell you that yellow was a color being used if not for the newly added instructions, lol.

Yellow (and orange) are made from a mixture of red and green light, making both yellow and orange hard to distinguish from red and/or green for those with red-green colorblindness.

I would suggest maybe changing the colors, or maybe add a setting for the colorblind :)

Some rules of thumb for using ANSI colors:

Make it optional. By default, assume only monochrome output is available.
If ANSI coloring is enabled by the user, also set the background color so the color theming in the client doesn't interfere. The client background could have any color: black, white, green, blue, any shade of color, etc. The ANSI foreground color alone is not enough to make it legible.
Show a message to the user somewhere indicating which ANSI escapes are expected to be supported by the client.

@clseibold Thank you for that, I will look into it next. FYI, i fixed the leaderboards and you are top!

@skyjake understood, I will work on making ANSI coloring an option and working with these guidelines.

@hanzbrix the runners in Rolled stay there and get rerolled if you decide to continue. so for example if you have brain brain runner, if you keep rolling, the 2 brains go to score, and the runner stays in Rolled, and 2 more die come down from Cup
