Pasted from the ReadMe.
MindWarp V1.0
Welcome to MindWarp!
This is not your father's memory game!
MindWarp is based off of the hand-held tiger electronic game from the 90's called Brain warp.
Since they've discontinued the toy, I decided to go ahead and code up a computer program that mimicks the different games.

Unlike most memory games, you, the player, monipulate the game object with the arrow keys. The arrow keys will flip the object around, and the top value of the object will be what's selected. If you don't understand this right now, it'll be explained below.
Where as most memory games you've might've played ask for key inputs that are static, I.E. You hear a note, and press the key that corresponds with that note, in MindWarp, you take control of a 6 sided di. Each side is labeled with numbers one through 6, and colors, blue, white, green, red, purple, and yellow. Every time you push the arrow keys, the di will be flipped in that direction, and the top of the di will change accordingly. If it doesn't make sence now, just play around and eventualy you'll get the hang of it.
The different game modes are as follows:
Number warp:
A number will be announced, the player's job is to match the top of the di up with that number within a timer. The timer will become shorter and shorter as points are collected.
Color warp:
Esentually the same as number warp, except with colors rather than numbers.
Code Breaker:
A sequence of 5 random numbers will be selected. The player will have to figure out the sequence through trial and error. Once you've selected a number using your arrow keys, press enter. If it is the correct number you will hear a sound indicating a success, if not, then no sound will play. If you get a successful number, and then move to another number and press enter, and no sound plays, you will need to navigate back to the previous number, and start over. No sequence will have two numbers that are the same, nor opposits. That is to say a sequence will never be 5, 5, or 1, 6. This mode has a default of 60 second timer. Each code successfully broken results in a timer that is one second shorter than the previous.
Opposits are as follows:
1, 6
2, 4
3, 5
4, 2
5, 3
6, 1
The di will always start off with 1 as the top.
Enjoy!

I hope you guys enjoy, any bugs or questions are welcome!

Hello,
Aah, good ol brain warp. This is a fairly good representation of this toy's various modes, good job, keep up the great work. Although, when the game first loads it just said mind warp and just sat there until I pressed down arrow, to maybe it should say mind warp, wait a couple of seconds and say main menu.

Ah yes. Thanks, I knew I was forgetting something lol.

Hi.
Nice small and quite challenging game. big_smile
A small bug: When you have game over, the game doesn't take you back to the main menu. You can easily cut off the speech if you are using NVDA, and I think it would be great to have a game over sound playing instead, and either your score read out in other ways so you don't cut it off, or a way to repeat your score.
Suggestions: It would be quite cool to have an online scoreboard linked to this game, and maybe expand it with some unlockables and trophies.
It would be really epic if you can make a Brain bash as well. Wow this old machine brings back some memories.

Best regards SLJ.

The score is in the title bar as well, so if you miss it, just check the title bar, if you use NVDA the command is NVDA t. I'll go ahead and put in a game over sound as well. I don't have a server to host online scoreboards, but feel free to post your scores here. Also, to return to the main menu, just press escape, though I suppose that isn't intuitive, so I'll have it do it automaticly with this next release. This was something that I came up with when I was bored, and worked on for a couple hours here and there. I've other things I'm working on, so as far as unlockables and trophies maybe not. I might just go ahead and put in a highscore system though, as that'd be pretty easy.

Put in a game over sound, and automaticly puts you in the main menu.

I have no idea how I missed this, but I'm definitely checking this out right now!
Brain Warp was my favorite handheld game, in fact I still have one, so I'm really looking forward to checking out the PC equivalent!

The glass is neither half empty nor half full. It's just holding half the amount it can potentially hold.

Awesome! I love this game! Still have my Brain Warp.
