I’m red green colour blind<\/a> and I love playing Tumblebugs. However, Tumblebugs relies on some amount of colour matching. Well actually it’s based on it! For the most part I can manage it. I can clear see the reds and the blues. Initially the yellow and greens were a little confusing when the action got a little frantic. However, when the purple ball was introduced, it became a nightmare. As it was practially blue, and I really needed to concentrate to distinguish between the two, and most of the time you just don’t have this amount of time available to you.<\/p>\n Anyway, I came up with a fix;<\/p>\n In the Tumblebugs directory \\Program Files\\Wildfire Studios\\Tumblebugs\\media<\/em><\/strong> is a file LB_Balls.xml<\/em><\/strong>, in here you can make a few changes that allow you to alter the light diffuse amount on the ball.<\/p>\n Now change the diffuse<\/strong> element to the following…<\/p>\n and the purple ball gets a lot darker! Play with the other colours to allow seperation of the colours.<\/p>\n All the config and level files are in the same directory as XML files, so it looks very easy to change the game. I guess you could make new levels for it pretty easily if you took the time to study the files further. But as a starter, check the tumblebugs.xml<\/strong><\/em> file. There are lots of easy changes you can make to alter the way the game plays.<\/p>\n See Also : Tumblebugs<\/a><\/p>\n
