Having no proprietary software dependences, -it's goal is making the original game "free" and more challanging. - -This is the second work of BulletLabRemix. Compared to the first work, it's much -more mature. However, it's still far away from a complete "framework". And it may -be full of bugs... - -Story ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -THE STORY OF THE COLOURS -Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel, all claimed that they -were the best the most important the most useful the favorite. -GREEN said: -「Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen -for grass and trees leaves. Without me all animals would die. Look over the -countryside and you will see that I am in the majority.」 -BLUE interrupted... -「You only think about the earth but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water -that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky -gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace you would all be nothing.」 -YELLOW chuckled: -「You are all so serious. I bring laughter gaiety and warmth into the world. The -sun is yellow, the moon is yellow and the stars are yellow. Every time you look at -a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun.」 -ORANGE started next to blow her trumpet. -「I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce but I am precious, for I -serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of -carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes and pawpaws. I don't hang around all the time -but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one -gives another thought to any of you.」 -RED could stand it no longer. He shouted out: -「I am the ruler of all of you - I am -blood - lifes blood I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight -for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me the earth would be as empty as -the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and -the poppy.」 -PURPLE rose up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: -「I am the color of royalty and power. Kings chiefs and bishops have always chosen -me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me - they -listen and obey.」 -Finally INDIGO spoke much more quietly than all the others but with just as much -determination: -「Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me but without me you -all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection twilight and deep water. -You need me for balance and contrast for prayer and inner peace.」 -And so the colors went on boasting each convinced of his or her own superiority. -Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of -bright lightening - thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down -relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear drawing close to one another for -comfort. -In the midst of the clamor rain began to speak: -「You foolish colors fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. -Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? -Join hands with one another and come to me!」 -Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. The rain continued: -「From now on when it rains each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow -of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The rainbow is a sign of -hope for tomorrow. And so whenever a good rain washes the world and a rainbow -appears in the sky let us remember to appreciate one another.」 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Well, that was about hundreds of thousand years ago. -After a catastrophic disaster, they found some of them were missing... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Generic Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -My own comment on this game... -A "game" filled with the smell of mysterious science and imagination(3:2 approximately). -(I worked on it for almost 9 months, after all.) -Others' comments... --PIECE OF SHIT!!! --The author must be suffering from serious mental problems.(I agree...) --(literally translated from Chinese) Revenge on society... - -Requirements & Recommends -Basic environment: -CPU: 1GHz. -RAM: 256MiB. -GPU&VRAM: With DirectX 9+/OpenGL 1.2+ support. -OS*: Windows XP+ & DirectX 9 / Linux kernel 2.6+ & OpenGL 1.2+ -Recommended environment: -CPU: Lots of cores. -GPU&VRAM: Very fast graphic rendering. -Sound: Ability to run OpenAL software version. - -*: According to Micro$oft and MinGW, this game should also run in Windows -98(SE)/ME**, but who's still using that? -**: The source code is just there.
