Default color palette

Post by ssilk »

I don''t really know if this is a really good idea. I know some programs, especially music making, which have default colors.

See for example this: Image

In this case, there are about 16 colors, which are "fixed". And the program chooses automatically any color out of this palette and tries to acoid using only one color.

I can think about that for the players or any other entity in the game. But much more important: GUI-elements, colors of buttons, coloring trains, so that you know, which route it drives... and a lot of those stuff more.

I don't really understand what you are suggesting... Can you give a more practical example?
I have not tried multiplayer yet, but I assume the player colors are not randomly set each time, or do they?

Practical example: Player #1 has Color #1 by default. Player 2 color 2, and so on.

Train #1 has by default color 8 as route color. Train #2 color #9. And so on.

It is just a simple numeration by color.
