Sure.


The contrast between the dragon and the terrain is far too small. Both are bright colors similar to each other.

This makes it hard to distinguish your character. Consider either a black border for the char, or a color change for one or the other.


I would make the bomb numbers bigger. They are a bit hard to read as is.


Rendering is ok, except there are some errors in the lower-left corner (triangle-shaped).

Due to an error I made in the competition by missing one of the contestants in the poll I had to restart the complete competition. My apologies.

The bombs and the numbers are just a developer preview. We are planning to put a 3d bomb there and sure, big numbers.

Yes, good point. I'll heck if I can add some shader to make the border dark otherwise, do you have any color suggestions?

Seems, like the vertex normals are not passed to the per-pixel lighting shaders. I'll fix that now. :)

Are you talking about the floating island? I think the dragon is perfectly distinguishable from it. I could imagine there would be an issue if one was color blind, though.

The floating island he's looking at, not the floating island he's standing on. That one is distinguishable. ;)

Yeah, the one he's looking at is green and orange, versus his bright red.

Yes. The contrast between the bright red and the bright green is bad.

The orange is ok compared to the reds.

Returning on the contrast topic, I found the code in FLTK for measuring whether the contrast between two colors is enough. If in doubt, it's scientific enough to accurately measure whether two colors are separate enough.

1. Convert both colors to luma (black and white). Use either the NTSC formula or the earlier digital formula. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luma_(video)
2. Calculate their absolute difference, ie abs(luma1 - luma2)
3. If the difference is over 100 (using scale 0-255), or 0.4 (using scale 0-1.0), the contrast is enough.
