Multi-colored screens

[still breach]

In the deep sea update is was proven multiple colored blocks were possible, and i think it can be applied to more blocks. The screen at the smallest size would be a 2x2 that has 4 wire ports that you can paint to change the color of the screen, you can paint each port individually allowing for multiple colors. If 2 ports are activated at the same time the screen color will become the most recent port that was powered. I want this because i make screen animations using screens, but its very difficult as the pixel can only be: lets say green or black. But if i want to make a snowy tree that moves backwards it would be impossible without the entire tree being white. Ill show an example of the screen animations i make if you dont understand what im talking about, i attached a video in the fourth photo.

[pure pine]

yes

[still breach]

Yes

[rugged pine]

Good idea we need it

[white wadi]

How did deep sea update prove multi color was possible

I can’t remember anything like that

[still breach]

Tokens

[white wadi]

Not multi colored?

It’s js a currency not a block

Also dance floors are multi colored so there that

It was proven like last year

[still breach]

You can paint the token and the team

[dense lake]

On the team token add/set blocks, you can recolor the team part on top and the token color itself separately
Same thing with the token block that allows you to trade one token color for another (forgot the name of it)

[dapper zealot]

How was this done with cyberwave update??

[still breach]

Very old recording of mine lmao

[dapper zealot]

ik but like how?

[still breach]

I would have to find the video, give me a sec

I dont have it anymore rip

All it is that very short pulses going trough a specific pattern across the screen

[dapper zealot]

ok

[still breach]

[hushed bloom]

Yah? Nah? How would you colour it though?

[cursive moon]

im guessing you'd be able to paint the ports

[still breach]

Exactly

[cursive moon]

how would this work with screens bigger than 2x1

[still breach]

I said the smallest version of it would be 2 x 2

Nothing smaller

[cursive moon]

thats why i said bigger

like 8x1s

[still breach]

Do you mean 8x8?

[cursive moon]

yeah

[still breach]

They would just be spread further apart ig

So you can fit more wiring

[hushed bloom]

Ohh yah

[dawn matrix]

We’ve had color changing blocks for ages

Just rework dance floor

[still breach]

You didn’t read it did you?

[dawn matrix]

I did

[dawn matrix]

I like the mixing colours but this does kinda exactly represent my idea

This could be added without adding a block

I did read the idea tho

The dance 2x2 dance floor is just a screen

[still breach]

The dance floor randomly chooses a color also with a black boarder around it, that would make it look bad

[dawn matrix]

That’s why I said rework it

We don’t need a whole new block

Did you read my suggestion?

[still breach]

The dance floor and my suggestion are way to different to fuse together. Plus changing the function of a block months after its been released would not make sense

[dawn matrix]

It would make sense

And it works

[still breach]

I understand your thought process but it just won’t work

[dawn matrix]

It is already a colour changing block

That loooks likes screen

[still breach]

randomly color changing block

[dawn matrix]

Again

I said rework it

[still breach]

Why would the dance floor be a better alternative anyway?

[dawn matrix]

Because it isn’t adding a new block

That people have to buy

It also gives use to a pretty much useless block

[dusk sequoia]

yeaah, but there's a border on the dance floor block that would look ugly if used as a screen

[still breach]

The light bulb and the screen are very similar blocks, but they are not the same block because the light bulb has a new feature. It would be the same for a multi color screen

[fervent vapor]

Hear me out, 8 bit wires

[noble estuary]

add a deer to that 4th video

[dull ether]

Token converters and event block all have 1 or more parts of it that can be painted a color different to the color of the block

[proper kestrel]

I do need this for a project I might work on

Idk why they haven't made this already

[proper kestrel]

What did the deep sea update add that's multi color?

[dense lake]

The token team add/set broadcasters and the token transfer thing

[proper kestrel]

Oh

Right

[proper kestrel]

Revive

[still breach]

[pale valve]

i think a better design is too have an rgb ports and a single changeable port, as with rgb you pretty much ed every color an then for neon colors or just easier access to say white you could use the wild port

[sinful wraith]

naw when 2 ports are activate it should be what that colour makes (red+blue=purple)

[still breach]

No. Plus that would be hard to code

[kindred hatch]

Good but it should have one hole

[still breach]

That would literally just be the normal screen

[true gust]

Burp

[kindred hatch]

Cap

[still breach]

Wdym cap

[kindred hatch]

I mean you’re wrong

[still breach]

How

Explain

[kindred hatch]

Because it wouldn’t be locked on the one color you paint it

Do you understand?

[still breach]

I think we are thinking of 2 different things

[kindred hatch]

Are you talking about a screen that is different colors or one that can change colors, I thought we were talking about one that could change colors

[tidal vigil]

since there are now multi colorable blocks i dont see this as an issue

as long as they are all 300bc and have 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, and 16x16 variants

id also assume the 4 total colors would be in the top left right for each one

[tawny valley]

Yes

[naive plinth]

If you mix two ports , they should be a mix of the colors that are activated

[still breach]

What use case does that have?

[river pewter]

epilepsy safety should automatically get turned on and will get locked if you have one of this in a map

[meager flame]

This would be awesome for video games, also, another idea, but potentially turning on multiple colors could mix them (based on RGB)(potentially as another block)

[still breach]

I see many people suggest this, but I don’t understand why, it would be super hard to code plus it would be impractical as if you want to switch from one color to another color instantly you would run the risk of having them mixing and create a flashing effect

[still breach]

That will literally kill the entire reason why i want this in the game 💔
|| I want to use it for some kind of build like having a train quickly pass by mountains ||

[vast root]

U U speed

double u speed

[still breach]

Wha-what?

[gritty storm]

[still breach]

[leaden horizon]

I’m also adding this in a few updates

[still breach]

Wha-what?

[proper kestrel]

@shy estuary this true

?

[tidal vigil]

tough

for 1x1 screen when

btw each of them should def be 300, just next to the normal ones, just so its not easy to just buy the multi ones and never use defaults.

kinda like the full spikes being right next to the normal ones

[still breach]

Wouldn’t be possible with my design

[still breach]

Tho i do feel like they would be charged at 800 because the extended use cases

[tidal vigil]

well i dont like it when they add items at a rate where you cant catch up to buying everything unless you spend money

excluding stuff like cw earnings and reskin earnings, with just loot and dailies and pets, they add items too fast

[still breach]

Yea, but you also have to remind yourself that if you do everything you can to earn buttcoins, you can get about 4k a week

[tidal vigil]

that fully depends on quests

(loot)

also thats not even enough to buy like 5 items over 800

and there are so so many items being added that cost so much

[nimble swift]

That video is the most peak thing I’ve ever seen

[still breach]

Thanks lol

[nimble swift]

I must see the wiring behind this bc now I actually wanna make smth like it lol

[still breach]

I had it in the old community builds, but the channel is long gone now

[nimble swift]

Ok
