A double to end the week

Board Size:  74×73

Edits: None

Notes:  It’s looks like a parody of The Secret Pyramid, which is a big reason why I like it.

Board Size:  74×73

Edits:  The yellow line in the top/center used to bit brighter, and while I was at it I slightly adjusted two other lines.  See the original version.

Notes:  Of the 360 levels I looked at for this week, this was the 298th and the other was the 299th.  They were also the only two levels with this relatively rare pyramid shape, so I felt they had to be together here.

Board Size:  74×73

Edits: None

Notes:  Introducing the Super Light 240Z Tint theme.  If you’re wondering why there is a Z in the name of many of my themes/palettes, it is because I like the letter Z.

Board Size: 74×73

Edits:  A few.  See the original image.

Notes:  I created the theme “Light Range 240Z Modest” specifically to make images for this and one other level.  This image is the result.

10/23/18

Board Size:  59×59

Edits:  Yes.  Here is the unedited image.  Prior to that image, I saw the original, and used my program to randomly change the color of some of the lines until I found one that I liked.  

Notes:  The colors are from a tinted version of the Dark 24 color palette that is pretty dull.  

The level has just 23 lines, and out of curiosity I checked all of the levels (over 5,000) that I have looked at with a board size of over 1000 cells and found zero levels with fewer lines.  In fact, I have only seen 5 levels with fewer than 30 lines, and one of the others was the image of the day on 10/17/18.

It’s not that my program doesn’t generate levels with this few lines – it’s that similarity filtering almost never picks them because they tend to look the same.

Edits:  See the original image

Notes:  This version also used a tinted theme that I called XRange 240Z Modest.  Just saying. 

10/22/18

A crazy day double:

Board Size:  59×59

Edits: None

Notes:  There’s an effect that I like that probably only works when viewing it on a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, and I’m not going to spoil it by looking at it anywhere else.

Board Size:  66×65

Edits:  None 

Notes: Once I got rid of the 10 other images of this pattern I considered posting that all did something better than this version, this image became one of my favorites. 

The image was generated with a tinted version (the RGB triplets have no zeros) of the Light 24 color palette, which keeps it relatively modest despite the mega bright colors.  

There was a reason I chose to put it next to:

10/21/18

Board Size: 68×67

Edits: None

Notes:  Sometimes the program gets lucky and randomly selects colors that look far from random.  The four longest lines (medium red/blue/orange/green) in the enclosed bottom right area are a dead giveaway that I edited the line colors and lied about it, except that I didn’t.

At one point I was able to convince myself that I liked this version better than the first.
