It's hard to understand what just happened 0.o
Yeah, the UI to make what's happening clear needs work. Here's an explanation; the dialog with 3 text boxes shows the first 3 numbers of a number sequence, from top to bottom. The game uses those 3 numbers to generate the rest of a number sequence; i.e. 1,2,3 becomes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. That sequence is used to remove cubes. The first number removes red cubes, the second green, the third blue, the fourth goes back to red, etc. This goes on until there aren't enough cubes left for the next number in the sequence.
Well, I never achieved minimalism I guess, but it's a fun little toy to see what will happen.
Took me a good while and reading your explanation a few times to figure out what was going on.
Interesting, but difficult to understand.
Ah, I get it now. An interesting concept here! Nice work on implementing the sequence finding algorithm too.
But I have a problem with not being able to see the text entry boxes. I only can see the last one. I was able to tab through them and change the numbers, but most of that window is hidden in the top left corner of the screen. :(
Could operate it okay, but not work out how to "aim" to get better (at removing the cubes)
I'm not sure how to play but interesting concept. Is there a way you can show the equation we are working with?
If you mean how I create the number sequences, the equation is explained on this site: http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/51538.html
My implementation of it is on lines 115-117 of this file: https://github.com/Feddas/LudumDare26/blob/master/Assets/Scripts/CreateCubes.cs
Love the concept. Wish I had a better idea what effect my choices were having and how well i was doing.
This is an impressive idea (I guess it's like picking a lock), but I agree with some of the other reviewers that I'd like to have more feedback about how I'm doing.
uh -- what did i do to make all those cubes keep appearing?
Dont understand this "game", but i like how cubes are created and the physics
