Pink already exists... I'd rather a REAL purple (not magenta, that's your pink).

It would be interesting to use the transparency color.

Yeah, transparency would be amusing, but not very fair.

Puce just isn't pink enough.  :P

A full color palette to select any color. What looks like crap to one person might look sexy to someone else. Plus there would be enough of a variety that ppl could choose and use a single color to their liking for their whole gaming career at opu. if you ever saw a screen cap with a pink plymouth, everyone would have a good idea of who it was (im not naming names :P).

I guess it does sorta blend I little, but it still looks good. Can't get a pic of it though.

I like Gold and Silver!

An RGB selection screen would be good, but we'd need the game to not let people be within X units in R, G, and B of each other. The units will look almost the same.

I think if the limit was to within 5 is bad than i think the code would be close to this in VB.net (I cant do Op2code. neither can i do 'within a certain range')



Code: [Select]
btnColor_Click...
Dim intPlrR As Integer = Val(Me.txtPlrRed.Text)
Dim intPlrB As Integer = Val(Me.txtPlrBlu.Text)
DIm intPlrG As Integer = Val(Me.txtPlrGrn.Text)
Dim intOpn1R As Integer = Val(Me.lblOp1Red.Text)
Dim intOpn1B As Integer = Val(Me.lblOp1Blu.Text)
Dim intOpn1G As Integer= Val(Me.lblOp1.Text)
'Repeat 4,5,6 for # of opponents

If intPlrR = intOpn1R - 5 And intPlrB = intOpn1B - 5 And intPlrG = intOpn1G -5 Then
       Me.lblClrChk.Text = "Too Close To Opponents Colour"
ElseIf intPlrR = intOpn1R +5 And intPlrB = intOpn1B + 5 And intPlrG = intOpn1G +5 Then
       Me.lblClrChk.Text = "Too Close To Opponents Colour"
'repeat for all values between 0 to 5 for all 8 opponents (if applyable)

is this right?

Lol. You'd be better off using < or > instead of =. But yeah, you don't want colors too close together. Also, it depends partly on the color as to what is "too close". The eye is more sensitive to green than it is to red or blue. So green colors can be "closer" together and not be a problem, but the same distance for a red or blue color might not work so well. I kinda wonder if YUV might work better for distance here.

I'd actually like to see some color mixes. Not just different shades of the same color. (I might not like the mixes, but I'd like to see a few).
