I am SpiritJZL:)\r\n\r\nWelcome to my 3rd LD. I have to say every time the theme is not fit to my preparation...but finally got it done, a six-in-a-row game. You may be familiar with five-in-a-row, but five is far too easy for my game, so I raised to 6\r\n\r\nhere is the instruction of my work:\r\n1.This is a six-in-a-row game,who makes a row of six block with same color wins. All 4 direction count(\u2191\u2193,\u2190\u2192,\u2196\u2198,\u2199\u2197)\r\n2.This is a 2-player game due to its very type, but 1 person play 2 roles is also kind of fun\r\n3.Players will take turns to click the spheres around the map, then the sphere will change its color,1 in red, 1 in blue\r\n4.The color of every block depends on 4 sphere of its corner,\r\nif red>blue ,  show red, \r\nif red<blue ,  show blue, \r\nif red=blue ,  show yellow(yellow won't affect game resault)\r\n5.Again,who makes a row of six block with same color wins.\r\n\r\nYou can find the instruction in game too, finally I have to say UE4 is not suitable for small games like this, for the file size is too large(105Mb uncompressed).What's in it?\r\n15Mb for the game content I created,37Mb for the engine file, 38Mb for the system setup file, and 80Mb for the PhysX!!!!(luckily I found 70Mb of PhysX is pdb and deleted them)\r\n\r\nThat's all, in Chinese '6' could mean \"good at\". So, How 6 could you be in my game?\r\nSource project is packed in the 7z file,you may need UE4.11.1 to open it","title":"Give me Six"}
