[RELEASE]Pixelizer 1.5 **UPDATE**

[Judas]

*UPDATE 10-18* I've updated the game to include one major feature. It now numbers the colors you input to make it easier to tell colors apart. It doesn't look as sleek, but it's more functional. Also fixed some bugs and cleaned up the code. So, in the attached archive, there is the updated game.lua, and 4 new puzzles.

Hello, and welcome to my awesome release. I don't feel like typing much more, since I just typed the readme, so I'll just post that.

Pixelizer is my first public release. The game takes its likeness from the palettes and boards of Animal Crossing. Since there were already so many designs for it, I figured that would be best. The game also take part of its gameplay from Pencil Puzzles. Pencil Puzzles are small puzzles in the back of Tips & Tricks magazine. (Thanks T & T) The object is to fill in squares to form a picture. Well, combining that, with Animal Crossing brings you the addicting game you see here. And yes, there is a coder by the name of Access_Denied who created Pencil Puzzles for the PSP, but in all honesty, the code wasn't that good. (Sorry Access_Denied) His game is what inspired me to make this. Anyway, here's what the game is.

GamePlay
The object is simple. Fill in squares until you get a picture. On the right of the giant grid, you will see a block titled "Current Block". Copy that block's pixels over to the giant grid, following the coordinates indicated by the two 'arrows' to guide you to which box. As you progress, the picture will become more clear, but more confusing at the same time. In this case, look at the preview box to get a smaller, clearer picture of it. When you're done you shall see the beautiful picture. Then, simply take a screenshot, and you're done. Start a new puzzle.

Controls
R-Trigger + L-Trigger -- Change Current Block.
Triangle -- Change from giant grid to color select menu.
Cross -- Assign the highlighted square the current color.
Start -- Take a screenshot. (Saved in ~/Pixelizer/ScreenShots/xxxxx.png)
Select + Circle -- Return to menu to select puzzle.

Future Releases
I plan on making future releases, including many, many puzzle releases. Please send all comments, questions, suggestions and bugs to mtlavris@yahoo.com or PM Judas on the QJ.net forums.

Puzzles
I do plan on releasing more puzzles. But, I also plan on writing a guide on how to make your own puzzles. But, if you decide to make your own, please assign them random names, as to not give away their picture. (I use anagrams of the original name.)

Credits
All coding done by Judas.
Thanks to Access-Denied for the idea.
Thanks to Tips & Tricks for the puzzles.
Thanks to Animalcrossingcommunity.c om for the patterns.
And finally, thanks to QJ.net for being awesome.

I do expect this to have bugs, and problems. I wasn't able to test the last minute changes I made, so.... Anyway, this release was coded in Lua, but since I plan on getting a PSP soon, the next release might be in C. And, here's the screenshots, and file. Post any comments please.

Looks nice.

[Judas]

Yeah, it's pretty addicting too. I got my friends at school to play it, and even though they knew what was in the image, they just HAD to finish it anyway. I like it.

Anyway, I noticed that Access_Denied has an account here on QJ, but he's banned. Is there any known way to contact him? Or maybe tell me when he'll be unbanned?

[M7thCC]

Looks great, it looks like you put a lot of time into it. I shall be giving it a try tonight.

[jsharrad]

Cool, going to make artists out of us gamers. ;)

[Greyone]

oo could you add the mario paint music to this?

That would be so cool.

[Mister Chief]

I have a ton issues of tips and tricks and helped Access-Denied a bit with the original.

I realy don't know why you have to say this about somebody else's code. I'd have a look at your game if it wasn't by this, but I think it's a total disrespect to say something like this about a fellow developer.

We're all together in the scene, and unless you really have some to say, say nothing!

Well... what could you expect from a Judas

Nice release anyways

I'm just being honest with him. The code runs so slow you can barely play the game. Oh well, I'll just get a hold of him and apologize.

Well I think it's not about apologize after you've done you knew that would have consequences. It wrong, just wrong and against all the dev's ethics.

You should really think about what you've done, change your readme and then go apologize.

I'm sure you don't wanna be a joke in the scene, but using other people as a ladder won't help with your reputation.

I assure you that it's not just my opinion, and if you say that you can barely play the other game, you should really say this to the developer, and not for the whole scene trying to put hame on him.

Well, that's my opinion. You do what you like, and you're responsible for your acts.

Cheers
