Color adjustment on strategy game map

I made a strategy game, showing a map with armies on it. The map is a pretty large image over which the user can scroll.
My problem: I want to draw the provinces of the different factions in different colors.
First of all, is this right?
1. Most phones do support color changing in pallett nowadays.
2. Most phones do support transparent png's nowadays.
My question:
- Is there a way to color the provinces? I can make an extra image for every province, with one transparent color, do a color replace and place the partly transparent image over de province in my map. But this uses so much of my processor speed and memory, I'm sure it cannot be done. Does anyone know a better way? A totally different solution maybe?
Right now I'm drawing tiny flags on the provinces, but they're not very clear.

  • What strategy games may i play in my mac with mountain lion?

    Examples: starcraft
    starraft 2
    age of imperes 2
    civiliztion
    what other strategy games may i play in the new software of mac?

    Of the ones you mention, there are three Civilization games in the Mac App Store. They and about 250 others show up for a search on the word "strategy" in the store. Those are just the ones that use the word "strategy" or "strategic" in their name or description; quite possibly many others of the thousands of game would match your interests.

  • Color Adjustment - Not Effecting Color Selection

    I could use some help doing color adjustment. I'm using the Color adjuster to adjust the grass in one of my photos from Green to Yellow. When I do this, some of the blades of grass are still staying Green. I added another color adjustment and selected one of the Green blades of grass with the eye dropper tool. Unfortunately when I try to adjust it, they stay the same color (green).
    Am I doing something wrong? I thought the eye dropper would be able to select the green I'm trying to adjust, so I can adjust it's Hue.

    Hmmm...
    Have you tried to expand the range parameter? Try pushing it all the way up to the max to see if you can make this adjustment have some sort of noticeable effect. You can, in fact, overload this parameter by typing a value greater than '2' into the value box - the maximum in this case seems to be '20'. (You can always pull it back or even reset it to '1.00' if required.)
    Failing that, try and make a test adjustment in, say, the water - in the bright patch at the right. I reckon it has a hue of about 215º to 200º. Sample it and push each parameter all the way to the right. This should give it a distinctive bright purpley/pinky cast. If this doesn't work for this image, then there's something fundamental we're missing here.
    Regards,
    Gary
    PS No, I don't simply look at an image and say that such-and-such an area has a hue of about 68.4º - I pulled your screenshot into Aperture and tinkered with it!

  • Selective Color Adjustment Layers

    Maybe someone can guide me on how to remedy these questions about Adjustments Layers changes in CS4:
    1. Selective Color adjustment.  When entering values manually, "undo" will now (in CS4) only undo the last digit (all other versions would undo the whole value just entered).  Exp: if I enter +25, and then want to immediately change to +10, pressing Command Z only will undo the "5", not the whole "+25".  This has been possible for over a dozen years, so not sure why it won't work now.
    2. Old key commands for cycling through each color in Selective Color no longer work in CS4. "Command 1" used to toggle Red, "Command 2" would toggle Yellow, etc.  Again, this has always been possible in other versions.

    Okay, here's the link I found to the plugin and info on the changes.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/10/shortcut_changes_in_cs4.html
    sure change is good, but after 15+ years using the same keys (well most have been the same now since v4.0), having to pause for the first time and take 2 days to learn how to use something you have used everyday without hiccups on previous versiosn - it gets frustrating, and loses valuable time for yourself and clients.  How embarrassing to be in front of clients and realize you don't know how to bring up feathering because it both changed in the menu, and the key command no longer works...
    thanks again Mark

  • Alternatives to multiple inheritance for my architecture (NPCs in a Realtime Strategy game)?

    Coding isn't that hard actually. The hard part is to write code that makes sense, is readable and understandable. So I want to get a better developer and create some solid architecture.
    So I want to do create an architecture for NPCs in a video-game. It is a Realtime
    Strategy game like Starcraft, Age of Empires, Command & Conquers, etc etc.. So I'll have different kinds of NPCs. A NPC can have one to many abilities (methods) of these: Build(), Farm() and Attack().
    Examples:
    Worker can Build() and Farm()
    Warrior can Attack()
    Citizen can Build(), Farm() and Attack()
    Fisherman can Farm() and Attack()
    I hope everything is clear so far.
    So now I do have my NPC Types and their abilities. But lets come to the technical / programmatical aspect.
    What would be a good programmatic architecture for my different kinds of NPCs?
    Okay I could have a base class. Actually I think this is a good way to stick with the DRY principle.
    So I can have methods like WalkTo(x,y) in
    my base class since every NPC will be able to move. But now lets come to the real problem. Where do I implement my abilities? (remember: Build(), Farm() and Attack())
    Since the abilities will consists of the same logic it would be annoying / break DRY principle to implement them for each NPC (Worker,Warrior, ..).
    Okay I could implement the abilities within the base class. This would require some kind of logic that verifies if a NPC can use ability X. IsBuilder, CanBuild,
    .. I think it is clear what I want to express.
    But I don't feel very well with this idea. This sounds like a bloated base class with too much functionality.
    I do use C# as programming language. So multiple inheritance isn't an opinion here. Means: Having extra base classes like Fisherman
    : Farmer, Attacker won't work.

    Hi
    PandoraElite,
    You can inherit from multiple interfaces (and use explicit interface implementation), but not from classes in C#. You can almost simulate it:
    In C# we don't support multiple inheritance
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/csharpfaq/archive/2004/03/07/why-doesn-t-c-support-multiple-inheritance.aspx
    What would be a good programmatic architecture for my different kinds of NPCs?
    In your scenario, we can define some interface ,An interface contains only the signatures of methods, properties, events or indexers. A class or struct that implements the interface must implement the members of the interface that are specified
    in the interface definition.
    How to use? Please refer to the following article.

  • Color adjustment eyedropper bug

    Hi there.
    When using the color adjustments in Aperture I've found that the eyedropper doesn't work as it should.  Everytime I try to select a colour using the eyedropper it selects red.  This is regardless of which of the 6 color spots I can select from.
    Has anyone else found this issue?

    The Color adjustment Brick comprises six separate adjustment panes.  (To see them, click the "Switch to Expanded View" icon -- third from the right of the three at the top right of the Brick.)  Each pane effects one hue.  The hues can be individually selected -- and can be _any_ hue.  The Brick defaults to evenly distributed hues, RGB interleaved with YCM.
    With one of the six hue positions selected, you can click the eyedropper and set the hue for that pane of the Brick.  If you click a red hue, it will set that pane the hue of the red you clicked.
    Are you clicking colors other than red and having the selected hue show as a red?

  • Color Adjustment trouble

    hai,
    since yesterday, everytime I restart FCPX all my Color Adjustment pucks are set to -100% to all of my projects. I can see the images but they're uncorrected. When I move one of the pucks the image turns black until I've reset all of them to 0%. It's the weirdest thing, very bothering and time consuming.
    The latest update 10.0.8 is installed and I'm currently working on a project with Sony f5 material. Sony's new import plug-in is installed recently. I trashed my preferences but the problem is still there. I've also turned off all of the old projects with EventManagerX.
    I'd be very happy if anyone has an idea what I should do to solve this.
    thanx.

    Tom Wolsky, thnx for your reply
    i've been shooting HD (1920 x 1080 interlaced PAL) material on XAVC, not using proxy as the HD format is the proxy when shooting 4K with the Sony F5. the problem is: this situation doesn't only effect this project but the color adjustment pucks on all of the other projects are set to -100%, too. Fortunately non are important at this moment. my current project is, though, and I can't seem to return to the situation in which everything worked okay.
    you got a clue?
    again, thanks for your help.

  • How do I adjust the route in Maps?

    How do you adjust the route in maps. For example, if I wanted directions from my current location (using the crosshair) to a friend's house 5 miles away, the directions given to me by maps has me travel on a freeway.
    How would I adjust the route to avoid the freeway, take different streets etc? Being able to drag google's route on desktop is invaluable, but seems this feature is missing in iPhone 3g

    I hope someone listens to this suggestion - as it is one of the biggest weaknesses of Maps in its current form.

  • Automatic color adjustment on different monitors ?

    Hi there,
    I have a new setup with three monitors, and I see a strange behavior when I move lightroom from one monitor to the other : there seems to be an automatic color adjustment made in the photos. On my center monitor they are warmer, and switch to a colder color on my other monitor. I have attached screen shots at the bottom.
    Here is a detailed explanation of what I do :
    - I have Lightroom opened on my center monitor. My photos have a kind of warm color cast (my screen is not very well calibrated). Lets call this color "Color A"
    - I start to drag the Lightroom window on my other monitor.
    - When I drag the window on my right (or left) monitor, I still see color A in my lightroom photos even if my window is now on my right monitor.
    - Only when I drop the Lightroom window does the color of the images switch to the colder color cast B.
    I don't see how this could be related to the monitors because the color doesn't change when the window cross from one monitor to the other, but only when I drop it (release the mouse button).
    Here is my setup :
    - Left and right monitors : Samsung XL2370 (DVI)
    - Center monitor : AOC Q2770 (Display Port)
    All these are plugged in 2 Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Vapor-X (Crossfire).
    When I had only tow monitors (both using a DVI connection), I noticed no color change when I switched monitors... Could this be because of the DisplayPort connection ? Why is it only noticeable in Lightroom (and only in the photo part, the color of the application (buttons and such) doesn't change... Is there somewhere an option for an automatic color correction depending on the monitor into which Lightroom is visible ?
    I have tried to search on forums and support sites, but honestly, I don't really know what to search for ! Any help would be really appreciated.
    The screen shots :
    On my center monitor, and on my right monitor when I drag the window (and still hold the mouse button) :
    On my right monitor, when I drop the window (release the mouse button) :

    Hello R_Giskard, did you find a solution?
    I have the same problem and I did a lot of research to solve it with no success.
    I recently bought a Dell U2713HM Monitor and plugged it on my  Dell Studio XPS M1640 (Mid 2010) laptop, which runs on Windows 7 64 bits. This laptop has a RGBled screen.
    I calibrated both screens (laptop and external) using a Spyder 3 elite device.
    Strangely, when I look at photo open in Adobe Lightroom 5 or Photoshop CS6 and I move it between the two screens, it appears way more saturated on the U2713HM Monitor. For example, the skin tone  on a person is overly orange.
    What is striking, is that when I move the LightRoom window from a screen to another, the color saturation only changes when I drop the window, i.e. if I move if from the laptop screen (where colors are paler) to the U2713HM Monitor, the colors remain pale on the external monitor until I let go of the mouse.
    It's as if a different color profile was applied to the picture as soon as it "lands" on the other screen.
    The change occurs similarly one way or another.
    best regards,
    NC

  • Color Adjustment Problems

    Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong or what is going wrong.  I am trying to get rid of green eye on a dog but I cannot seem to pick the eye color from the photo.
    I'm starting with the green adjustment (not that this matters). I'm trying to pick the actual shade from the photo.
    So I click on the color square:
    The hues I get when the cursor is over the eye vary from oranges to yellows even though I see nothing under the cursor that looks anything like those hues.  But sometimes I can get a hue that looks close, like in the shot below:
    So I click and the result I get in the color adjustment often is nothing close to the color I picked. In this case it became red:
    Any ideas?

    I posted a problem related to this (but not exactly the same) a year ago and tried all the usual troubleshooting steps then with no success. The problem was on more than one computer and with photos from different cameras. I gave up and assumed it was a bug that would get fixed. I haven't touched the color adjustment bar for a year. Since that time I have installed a new video card, upgraded to Mountain Lion, installed every available update, and have rebooted many many times. I have also reinstalled Aperture from scratch (from disk) at least once and gone through all the Aperture updates. Today I did try trashing the Aperture preference file and rebooting. Neither worked. Prior to a year ago I had no problem.
    The color bar works some times then will quit working. Other times it returns the wrong hue from the eye dropped (as described here), sometimes I get what looks like the right hue but the sliders have no effect until I "apply to entire photo" and all of a sudden the change takes effect.  I was finally able to coax it into submission for this photo but it took more than a few tries.
