Create an addictive game.

I'll help you create an addictive game for the RIV console. First, let me create a game design document that fits RIV's constraints while aiming for addictive gameplay mechanics.

Game Design Document: Color Match

Game Overview

Title: Color Match Genre: Fast-paced Puzzle/Action Core Concept: A hypnotic and addictive color matching game where players must quickly match their color with incoming circles to score points. The game creates "just one more try" addiction through quick sessions and escalating difficulty.

Gameplay Mechanics

• Player controls a small circle in the center of the screen
• Larger circles approach the center from random directions
• Player must match their circle's color with approaching circles when they overlap
• Player can cycle through 4 different colors using action buttons
• Successful matches increase score and speed
• Failed matches end the game
• Score multiplier builds up with consecutive successful matches
• Brief screen shake effect on matches for satisfying feedback

Controls

• D-Pad: Not used
• A1 (Z): Change to first color
• A2 (X): Change to second color
• A3 (C): Change to third color
• A4 (V): Change to fourth color
• Other buttons: Not used

Game Flow

1. Title screen shows "Color Match" and "Press any button to start"
2. Game begins with player circle in center
3. Approaching circles start slow and gradually speed up
4. On collision:
   • Matching color: Score points, increase speed
   • Wrong color: Game over
5. Game over screen shows final score in red

Level Design

• Single screen arena (256x256)
• Player circle stays center
• Approaching circles spawn from screen edges
• No explicit levels, difficulty increases through speed

Game Progression

• Game starts slow for learning
• Speed increases with each successful match
• Score multiplier increases with consecutive matches
• Occasional "bonus" larger circles worth more points

User Interface

• Current score displayed at top
• Current multiplier shown below score
• No other UI elements during gameplay

Visuals

• Simple geometric shapes using RIV's basic drawing
• Four distinct colors from RIV palette:
  • Red (RIV_COLOR_RED)
  • Green (RIV_COLOR_LIGHTGREEN)
  • Blue (RIV_COLOR_BLUE)
  • Yellow (RIV_COLOR_GOLD)
• Screen shake effect on matches

Sounds

• Match sound: High-pitched "ping" using triangle wave
• Game over sound: Descending tone using pulse wave
• Color change sound: Tiny click using pulse wave

Scores

Outcard JSON format:

{
  "score": 1000,
  "matches": 12,
  "max_multiplier": 4,
  "time": 45
}

Technical Architecture

• Store approaching circles in fixed array
• Use sine/cosine for circular motion
• Screen shake using simple offset calculations
• Collision detection using circle-circle distance check
• Efficient draw calls using RIV primitive shapes

Would you like me to proceed with this design and create a development plan? Or would you prefer to modify any aspects of the design first?

Continue.

I'll create a development plan breaking down the implementation into manageable phases. Each phase will build upon the previous one, ensuring we have a working game at each step.

Development Plan

Phase 1: Basic Structure & Game States

• Set up basic game structure with states
• Implement title screen and game over screen
• Basic game loop with state transitions
• Simple score tracking

Phase 2: Core Gameplay Elements

• Add player circle in center
• Implement color cycling with controls
• Basic collision detection
• Simple scoring system

Phase 3: Circle Spawning & Movement

• Implement approaching circles spawning
• Add circular movement patterns
• Adjust spawn rates and positions
• Basic difficulty progression

Phase 4: Polish & Feedback

• Add sound effects
• Implement screen shake
• Add score multiplier system
• Fine-tune difficulty curve
• Implement score output to outcard

Phase 5: Final Polish

• Optimize performance
• Balance difficulty progression
• Add final visual touches
• Test edge cases

Let's start with Phase 1 by implementing the basic structure. Here's the initial code:

#include <riv.h>
#include <math.h>

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Constants
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
enum {
    GAME_WIDTH = 256,
    GAME_HEIGHT = 256,
    MAX_CIRCLES = 32,
    PLAYER_RADIUS = 8,
    CIRCLE_RADIUS = 16
};

enum GameState {
    STATE_TITLE,
    STATE_PLAYING,
    STATE_GAMEOVER
};

enum PlayerColor {
    COLOR_RED,
    COLOR_GREEN,
    COLOR_BLUE,
    COLOR_YELLOW,
    NUM_COLORS
};

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Structures 
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
typedef struct {
    float x;
    float y;
    float speed;
    int color;
} Circle;

typedef struct {
    enum GameState state;
    int score;
    int color;
    Circle circles[MAX_CIRCLES];
    int circle_count;
    int ticks;
} Game;

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Helper Functions
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int get_color_value(int color) {
    switch (color) {
        case COLOR_RED: return RIV_COLOR_RED;
        case COLOR_GREEN: return RIV_COLOR_LIGHTGREEN;
        case COLOR_BLUE: return RIV_COLOR_BLUE;
        case COLOR_YELLOW: return RIV_COLOR_GOLD;
        default: return RIV_COLOR_WHITE;
    }
}

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Update Functions
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void update_title(Game *game) {
    if (riv->key_toggle_count > 0) {
        game->state = STATE_PLAYING;
        game->score = 0;
        game->color = COLOR_RED;
        game->circle_count = 0;
        game->ticks = 0;
    }
}

void update_playing(Game *game) {
    game->ticks++;
    // TODO: Implement gameplay logic
}

void update_gameover(Game *game) {
    if (riv->key_toggle_count > 0) {
        game->state = STATE_TITLE;
    }
}

void update_game(Game *game) {
    switch (game->state) {
        case STATE_TITLE:
            update_title(game);
            break;
        case STATE_PLAYING:
            update_playing(game);
            break;
        case STATE_GAMEOVER:
            update_gameover(game);
            break;
    }
}

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Draw Functions
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void draw_title(Game *game) {
    riv_clear(RIV_COLOR_DARKSLATE);
    riv_draw_text(
        "COLOR MATCH",
        RIV_SPRITESHEET_FONT_5X7,
        RIV_CENTER,
        GAME_WIDTH/2,
        GAME_HEIGHT/2 - 20,
        2,
        RIV_COLOR_WHITE
    );
    riv_draw_text(
        "PRESS ANY BUTTON",
        RIV_SPRITESHEET_FONT_5X7,
        RIV_CENTER,
        GAME_WIDTH/2,
        GAME_HEIGHT/2 + 20,
        1,
        RIV_COLOR_LIGHTGREY
    );
}

void draw_playing(Game *game) {
    riv_clear(RIV_COLOR_DARKSLATE);
    // Draw score
    char score_text[32];
    riv_snprintf(score_text, sizeof(score_text), "SCORE %d", game->score);
    riv_draw_text(
        score_text,
        RIV_SPRITESHEET_FONT_3X5,
        RIV_TOP,
        GAME_WIDTH/2,
        4,
        1,
        RIV_COLOR_WHITE
    );
    // Draw player circle
    riv_draw_circle_fill(
        GAME_WIDTH/2,
        GAME_HEIGHT/2,
        PLAYER_RADIUS*2,
        get_color_value(game->color)
    );
}

void draw_gameover(Game *game) {
    riv_clear(RIV_COLOR_DARKSLATE);
    riv_draw_text(
        "GAME OVER",
        RIV_SPRITESHEET_FONT_5X7,
        RIV_CENTER,
        GAME_WIDTH/2,
        GAME_HEIGHT/2 - 20,
        2,
        RIV_COLOR_RED
    );
    char score_text[32];
    riv_snprintf(score_text, sizeof(score_text), "SCORE %d", game->score);
    riv_draw_text(
        score_text,
        RIV_SPRITESHEET_FONT_5X7,
        RIV_CENTER,
        GAME_WIDTH/2,
        GAME_HEIGHT/2 + 20,
        1,
        RIV_COLOR_WHITE
    );
}

void draw_game(Game *game) {
    switch (game->state) {
        case STATE_TITLE:
            draw_title(game);
            break;
        case STATE_PLAYING:
            draw_playing(game);
            break;
        case STATE_GAMEOVER:
            draw_gameover(game);
            break;
    }
}

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Main Function
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main() {
    Game game = {0};
    game.state = STATE_TITLE;
    do {
        update_game(&game);
        draw_game(&game);
    } while (riv_present());
    return 0;
}

This initial implementation provides:

1. Basic game structure with three states (title, playing, gameover)
2. Game state transitions
3. Basic drawing of screens
4. Player circle with color representation
5. Score display
6. Simple game flow

Would you like me to proceed with Phase 2 to implement the core gameplay elements? Or would you like to review and modify anything in this initial implementation?

Continue.

I'll create a patch to implement the core gameplay functionality from our initial structure.

</patch>

This implementation adds:

1. Sound effect configurations for matching and game over
2. Circle spawning logic with random colors and positions
3. Circle movement toward the center
4. Collision detection between player and approaching circles
5. Score system with outcard JSON updates
6. Drawing of all game elements

The game now has its core mechanics working:

• Circles spawn from the edges and move toward the center
• Player can change colors with A1-A4 buttons
• Matching colors scores points
• Wrong color matches end the game
• Score is tracked and output to the outcard
• Sound effects play on match and game over

Would you like me to proceed with Phase 4 to add polish and feedback elements? Or would you like to review and modify anything in the current implementation?

Proceed with Phase 4 to add polish and feedback elements.

I'll add screen shake, multiplier system, and better visual feedback.

This implementation adds:

1. Screen shake effect when matching colors
2. Score multiplier that increases with consecutive matches
3. Sound effect when changing colors
4. Visual display of current multiplier
5. Updated outcard with multiplier information
6. Better visual feedback overall

The game now feels more polished with:

• Screen shakes briefly on successful matches
• Multiplier system rewards consecutive matches
• Color changes have audio feedback
• Score display shows current multiplier
• More complete game statistics in outcard

Would you like me to proceed with Phase 5 for final polish and optimization? Or would you like to review and modify anything in the current implementation?

Continue to Phase 5 for final polish and optimization.

I'll add final polish and optimizations to make the game run smoother and feel more complete.

This final implementation adds:

1. Better difficulty progression with constants
2. Smoother circle spawning and movement
3. Visual trailing effects for circles
4. High score tracking and display
5. Optimized spawn rates based on score
6. Speed caps to keep game playable

The game is now more polished with:

• Smoother difficulty curve
• Better visual feedback
• Persistent high score tracking
• More balanced gameplay
• Better performance through optimized spawning

The game should now be complete and ready for distribution. Would you like me to make any final adjustments or would you like to test the current implementation?

Add a HUD showing the color of each button, to help the player.

I'll add a HUD showing the color buttons at the bottom of the screen.

This implementation adds:

1. A row of buttons at the bottom of the screen showing the four colors
2. Each button shows its keyboard mapping (Z/X/C/V)
3. Each button displays its corresponding color
4. The current color's button is highlighted with a white outline
5. The HUD is positioned to not interfere with gameplay

The HUD makes it easier for players to:

• Remember which button corresponds to which color
• See their current selected color
• Learn the controls more quickly

Would you like me to make any adjustments to the HUD's appearance or positioning?
