Hexguess by safsom2

[raw]
made by safsom2 for LD 41 (JAM)

This is a game. The first game I have ever made since I learned how to program (that's not in scratch anyway). I have made operating systems and assemblers, but not games. I combine very casual gameplay with the most nerdy main asset: RGB values. I flash a colour on the screen, give you choices in your console prompt, and you guess the colour. You guess the colour correctly? You get a point. Incorrectly? You miss. 3 misses and you're out!

Please note: the game isn’t very polished yet. I only found out about the Ludum Dare 18 hours before it ended, and in that time, I had to learn how to use SDL and make this game!

Compile yourself by running

cd src gcc main.c -o hexguess -lSDL2

NOTE: Please make sure to run it in the Terminal (cmd on Windows)

If you do not want to compile from source, use the Windows and Linux builds in the bin directory.

I like the idea, but the colors are changing way too fast

I updated the game and increased the delay to 3.5 seconds. Thanks for the feedback, @nehvis!!

Cool idea, but would be nice if you wouldn't have to look at the console for the hex values, and maybe seperate them out (For example AB CD EF) and show them on the game window ;)

@thewgbroz Thanks for the feedback! As I consider this kind of thing a bug, I will fix this by tomorrow and include a HUD with the question and the scores. Many thanks for the help!

Hard to understand what is going on

@mahdi daneshvar You have to guess the RGB value of the colour on the screen. For now, make sure you have a console to see the choices. Press the keys I tell you to. I ran out of time to implement a HUD with information.

This is really creative! Also, incredibly hard. I guess this'll take quite a bit of practice. :P
Could be cool to display the hex codes on the screen, might make it easier than moving eyes back and forth between terminal and window. Grats on first game! :)

A bit difficult to understand the color code used when opening the game for the first time. Maybe a hex code or separated values are more easily

@yatan The colour is a hex code? Although yes, I'll work on separating them and putting them on the screen now.
