Colör Lines

[darkfrei]

Hi all!

Here is a Color Lines-like game, where you are need to place 5 color balls (or more than 5) in line of them.
Settings are not available, but you can play it.

Also, it works pretty well on Android.

my laptop has 1366x768 resolution, so the window did not fully fit vertically.
it was playable by moving the titlebar offscreen.

I like the jumping animation of the bubbles. It seems there is no way to lose: When the last tile gets field by a small bubble, you can still jump on it and endlessly shuffle bubbles until you get a line.
Some effect when clearing a line would be good, too. Maybe some combo-system too.

I would set the window to be resizable and add something like this to your love.draw, so anyone can play it at whatever resolution they like:

Code: Select all

local gameW, gameH = 1280, 800

function love.draw()
	local winW, winH = love.graphics.getDimensions()
	local scale = math.min(winW/gameW, winH/gameH)
	local extraX, extraY = winW - gameW*scale, winH - gameH*scale
	love.graphics.push()
	love.graphics.translate(extraX/2, extraY/2)
	love.graphics.scale(scale, scale)

	cl.draw()

	love.graphics.pop()
end

[Edit] Ach, sorry, that by itself breaks mouse coordinates and the display after switching screens. Here's a properly working main.lua:

And then in color-lines.lua, in game.load and menu.load, replace

Code: Select all

local w, h = love.graphics.getDimensions()

with:

Code: Select all

local w, h = gameW, gameH

Or Resolution Solution next time.

O cool! Maybe if the little circles were pulsing (growing bigger and smaller), then it would be more clear that they're going to "appear" after the player's next move.

@Ross

It works fine. Thanks!
