I thought making a clicker game would be a lot simpler than our previous projects. Man was I wrong. I’m not a big fan of idle games since I find them kind of boring (with the exception of button mashing games), so I wanted to try to make something really fun. The hardest part about this project was coming up with an idea. I realize from these past projects that I always want to try to make games with these complex ideas, but I don’t have the skill level to implement them, so I end up wasting so much time trying to figure out codes I don’t know how to attempt and end up with less time building the actual game. I ended up decided on a sort of combination lock game with colors, where you have to continuously click on the buttons (which change color with every click) and try to figure out the correct color sequence in the least amount of clicks possible. Not the most fun game, but a decent puzzle game in my opinion. By the time of the critique, however, the game was only half done, with only the color changing objects working with no end result, but in the end I was able to figure out a code to get the result I wanted. Thanks again Patrick for the help!
I realized that with seven buttons and seven colors on each button, the possibilities for a combination is incredibly high, so some people suggested I add some sort of hint to give to the player. Although someone did say to just keep it as is and make them guess haha. My initial idea was to make the color sequence the colors of the rainbow, since I assumed that would be most people’s first guess. A couple people actually did guess correctly without my assistance. But in the end I decided to add in a hint to make the game a little easier.
