Goo Color Mutation

[wakeNbake]

Goo has a 20% chance of randomly mutating “1 step” in any direction when planted on rock.

Goo mutates “1 step” towards the gleam it is planted on, then 20% will further randomly mutate “1 step” from that colour.

CANDY TOTEM tint?

Goo always randomnly mutates to a nearby colour with a given chance. Goo ‘also’ steps 1 towards the colour of gleam it is planted in. For rock that means random mutation only. Spider takes the colour of the block, and then randomnly mutates in the same way. Candy works like goo (only cant replant seeds after), 1 step towards the ice colour and random mutation.

I’ll see if I can find the dev post that describes the algorithm for you.

Ah ok found it in one of your thread so I’m sure you’re aware of it, lol.

Goo Color Wheel

for the goo mutation step, a graph has been generated that links all the colours together in a somewhat sensible way, and it steps through that graph to whichever neighbour is closest to the target than the current colour is; the random mutation then kicks in to sometimes also step it 1 neighbour in any direction. the graph is generated by starting from each of the 255 colours, and evaluating for all the other 254 colours which of the 254 remaining colours in closest to the current colour, whil…
