I have this idea of a picture colorer... but instead of just tapping each square to fill it it, you'll have to play a mini block game to fill each cell in...
I am considering 7 colors, with 7 character pages, and 7 mini games...
This fits within my very limited time i get to work on anything here, as the code and design for each mini game is super simple... and yet i will hopefully be contributing something more than just screensavers ;)

Unlike my tictactoe game, where i made the main game and never fleshed out all the mini games... for this one i will create all the mini games first, and then i will add them to the game master...

For demo 2 tap A or B to "paint" in a section at a time... and also to replay...
Rather than having variant games, i am considering this:
1) at startup, player has "demo", "setup", and "start" options
... demo would allow player to play each of the 7 games, so they can try them out, or just to play them as games
... setup would let player reassign what games each color would be assigned to, so by default, color#1 fills in by winning game#1
... start would begin the paint program..
The quantity of blocks a color uses is listed, so a player could then assign their favorite games to the color# that has the most blocks, and assign their least favorite games to color# that have the fewest or even no blocks ;)

I may also add for each game a random difficulty feature, on a curve, so easiest level plays the most, medium less frequently, and hardest level plays least often...

And finally, i considering adding 3 bonus games that offer themselves randomly, rather than playing the assigned game... these would actually be more difficult but if you win would auto paint in 9 blocks of 3x3 around the one block you selected...
I have been researching luminosity ;) trust me when i say the bonus games will be harder

Game 6 is almost done... it is a grab-gold maze and avoid the baddies
Game 7 is a blank, currently...
I have 2 of the 3 bonus games chosen already, the 3rd one is still a blank...

.... well i had an extra day off :D (yea) ... now, back to the grindstone :/

... for the gamemaster, i will be adding code that will read and count and set up the color charts and quantities automatically...
... this will allow ANYONE to design their own block graphic background and the master code will automatically run it for you ;)
You will be limited to using characters 1,2,3, and limited to 7 or less colors (defined as a palatte# and cell# pair) ... chars1,2,3 represent colors 1,2,3 for any palette
..anything outside these limits would render the background void and unplayable...

Interesting concept, will be cool to see final result.

Am adding diff levels to all existing block games....
... all existing block games now have random 3 levels of difficulty
was8bit 2023-04-23 14:51
Game 7 decided, and bonus 3 decided...
.. now to find time to complete all games...

Block game #6 now has diff levels

I have 3 Block Unlock puzzles that will be required to unlock a new number...
my idea is that the graphic blocks will initially be empty, selecting a new unopened number will initiate an unlock Puzzle.... to unlock all instances of that new number you will need to solve the puzzle...
Once a number is unlocked, all instances of that number will show and you will then be able to convert them into color by playing and winning the game assigned to that color ;)

Although each puzzle doesn't have different difficulty levels, one puzzle will be easy, one normal, and the last one will be hard... each time you try to unlock a new number a puzzle will be randomly selected, so this lets you eventually win one of the randomly selected puzzles....

I will post the three unlock puzzles as I get them finished :)
They are actual brain game puzzlers, called Four winds, Happy trails, and Eyes watching ...

Gotta finish Bonus game #3, then the 3 unlock games.. then i will put them all into this one...
