[Split Up] The CUBE, The CUBOID & HyperCUBE - attack in

by **mibi** on Sat Nov 17, 2007 12:11 am

I would never play this on a grey background, it would feel like homework or something.

Im sorry but there is no working alternative.

Find one you must, else your map, quench it will not.

bollocks.

do a poll and you will find the space background is preferred anyways.

by **paulk** on Sat Nov 17, 2007 10:05 pm

I can do a poll when the current poll is over.
But I have tried a lot of different backgrounds and the only thing that works is a grey one.

what about the same color as the background around maps when you are playing them, then it wont be a block of gray on the white with a slight hint of puke green

Are you sure there are only 36 quadrants?

by **paulk** on Sun Nov 18, 2007 3:40 am

Yes, on The CUBE. 4 quadrants per "flake" * 3 * 3 dimensions = 36

Happy?

that's the way, nice one on the background compromise.
Best of both worlds. Keeps its setting, gives it a theme, and you can still figure it out.

(p.s. - i think i missed the explanation on the "yellow ball" which gives the extra +1 - the E,F,G,H yellow is the closest to my mind at the moment. Could you save us the trouble of searching back through the thread and explain - also if i'm not comlpetley witless and it actually isn't that obvious, maybe you should make it a little clearer on the map)

christ, thats ugly.

may i suggest that rather than having teh bonuses set as squares could you make then all cubes like hte center yellow one? I think this would make the bonuses easier to identify and more realisitict to hold, but then again it would turn this map more symetrical.

I genereally feel that this concept still needs to be a little more tidy.

Thank you thank you!! Finally someone that doesn't just whine.

The yellow balls, uh-oh... :shock:

Seem to have missed coloring the middle balls in this latest version. I will fix it pronto!

I will be most happy to email you the photoshop file and see if you can come up with a better solution

grey-ish

space-y

by **asl80** on Sun Nov 18, 2007 8:09 pm

hmmm, think paulk's last one was better, more intrigue in the background selection. (But in any case, stick to the stars theme)

by **Piestar** on Sun Nov 18, 2007 11:42 pm

I like the star theme as well, but you need to replace the black bars with some other color...

by **Rictus** on Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:52 am

I really like the idea, and I'm intrigued to see how it will play. I think the 'Cube' map would be great for heads-up/4 player scraps...

by **paulk** on Thu Nov 22, 2007 12:31 am

I kind of liked the grey-ish map, but the black balls/rods have to change color to burgundy or pink or something. ( I never figured out what color is what, exept the basic ones.

)

Can you post the background only?

by **paulk** on Sun Nov 25, 2007 5:37 am

Oh well, I did my own.

Great concept.

To achieve http://steve.hollasch.net/thesis/images/fig45a.gif you would just need to bend/curve it.

by **paulk** on Mon Nov 26, 2007 2:16 am

no comments lately - does that mean everyone is happy? :wink:

by **Coleman** on Mon Nov 26, 2007 3:04 am

I'm not. Which map are you actually working on? If it is the one on this page that's good, but we'd like to limit things to one map per topic with easy to follow info in the title.
