Odd, I only got one wrong, and it gave me a 10/20 score at the end. Is the scoring not 1-to-1? edit: Oh, I see. Once you get one wrong the game ends immediately, but the score includes the full 20 rounds that you're supposed to get through.
Off topic, but this seems like a decent place to ask: Has anyone else noticed the weird new grey color that automobiles have in the last year or so? Does anyone know how to describe that color? Can anyone explain how it is different from previous greys in RGB terms? Or even in paint color terms?
Definitely don't make the game end dafter one wrong guess. At least give me some lives or something, damn. Or, better yet, just let me play to the end, then give me my score.
that's not really what you want, what you want is for the starting of a new game to be automatic and not require extra clicks. the way I'm suggesting (which is what the game is with extra clicks) is a game of "what's my longest streak of correct guesses" which actually makes your score look better than keeping your losses around.
I’m so confused. This is something people know? I mean, I can work it out from first principles knowing how color mixing works, but it sounds like people just … know them? I’ve been programming for almost 40 years and it would never have occurred to me to memorize this sort of thing.
I got 14/20 on my first try just by knowing how the color mixing works. A few simple rules: - Higher values mean brighter colors - The closer the individual colors are to each other, the closer to "gray" it looks - R + G = Yellow, R + B = Fuchsia, G + B = Teal

This is hexadecimal notation for rgb. Each character represents 2 bytes, which encode a value from 0 to 255. This is a bit more confusing because this is a shorthand notation: you’d actually need 2 hexadecimal characters for 2 bytes (eg #0077ff would be rbg(0, 127, 255)). In this shorthand notation, I think there’s an implied 0 (eg #07f is #0070f0). So you can’t represent all rgb colour with only 3 characters, but fo…
Every tool I've ever used referred to this as hex (including design tools but maybe I'm sheltered), whereas rgb refers to the 0-255 triples If someone asked me for a colour in "RGB" they'd be rightly confused if gave them a hex format colour (obviously you can convert between them but that's not what they asked for)

And then having a natural intuition for how the relative mixing of color values should look.
I’d say you could do pretty well if you took your time and thought analytically about it, but some people have just developed a strong intuition for it.
This would be much harder if there was a “none of the above” option.

That mechanic can be implemented without starting a new game at all. Increment a counter on correct guess, reset to 0 on incorrect, continue on through the game.
