NudeRaider Post #1

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

I initially asked that in the shoutbox but received no response, so I'm gonna quote it here in hopes of getting the discussion going.

A recent change in Google Chrome lets it treat CSS colors as sRGB and converts the color to match the color spectrum of the color profile defined for your monitor (if any). What I don't understand is that a pure red #ff0000 will not be displayed with a fully saturated red of your monitor (all red subpixels brightness 100% and B/G subpixels 0%) but some toned down version of that, when your monitor has a greater spectrum than sRGB. Maybe someone familiar with handling of color profiles can aswer that: Isn't #ff0000 supposed to be "maximum red", no matter how bright / saturated your monitor can display it?

My intuition would be that the color spectrum of CSS would get scaled to fit your monitor, despite w3c defining CSS colors as sRGB. Why not use the monitor's full capability?

NudeRaider -- Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet shouted: NudeRaider I suppose that's one justification for pushing it to 1.00. I'm still messing with some novel concepts, I completely revamped the Shadowcraft hero in v0.18 and there's some kinks to work out with some of the other changes I made, but I suppose that doesn't mean I can't call the currently version 1.XX

indeed

NudeRaider shouted: Ultraviolet Oh, then your versioning is maybe a bit misleading. I didn't have much trust in a v0.2

Damn straight!

NudeRaider -- Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet shouted: Imp UV3 is actually in the works with some major changes, but it's been slow going. I'd like to have a version of Imp UV for every tileset at one point.. hopefully it doesn't take until 2030

prediction: It will.

NudeRaider -- Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet shouted: NudeRaider Oh definitely fully playable. I used the first map as the shell, so it was basically complete from the first release. I've made some tweaks and improvements here and there based on nuances between the maps, like UV2 has more air units so certain ground-focused heroes like Psycho and Shadowcraft have needed some buffing. Other improvements have been little bug fixes or ways of stopping cheese strategies (like the bosses now spawn in a random location instead of at their lair so players can't just camp them with nukes. UV2 is definitely harder despite only being 4 levels + boss fight instead of 5. I'd say it's definitely worth a go, there's some unique mechanics that make each of the levels have kind of their own interesting spin

Oh, then your versioning is maybe a bit misleading. I didn't have much trust in a v0.2
