Introducing It's Pink

Hi, I'd like to introduce you to It's Pink my digital card game. Apart from the very basics I learnt from reading the introduction to BBC Basic coding book, my very first introduction to real code was via hacking games.

Now first of all it's important to note that this was in 1983 / 84 and secondly by hacking I simply mean pressing the escape key and then running the list command to view the uncompiled code and a little bit of machine code before making some simple changes to either give me more lives or a better shield so I could beat my cousins scores.

It's Pink although not called that at the time was the first game I thought up, designed and built, it had a fairly simple premise of when 3 things matched you pressed the button and got a point, if they didn't match you lost a point and if you didn't press the button when they match you also lost a point.

Throughout the years I've used this to help teach myself new languages and frameworks and more recently used it as my own Turing test on AI capability, i.e. what could it build with the smallest prompt.

I built the latest version about a year ago, my Dad was diagnosed with Dementia and my Mum set up a support group for people caring for people with dementia (https://forgetmenotmemorycafe.com/) the group had been gifted some iPads but Mum didn't really know how to make use for them so I built some simple memory games (you can find them here https://sugarollymountain.com/apps).

It's pick was one of them, again a simple premise when the card is pink, the word on the card say 'Pink' and the colour of the word is pink you tap the screen and get a point. Since the memory cafe edition I have tried to make it a bit more entertaining and sticky and would be really interested in peoples feedback. One simple idea I have is to introduce a random bonus round where you get 2, 3, or 4 cards and for each one you get right you get 2x, 3x or 4x your score.

Anyway feedback is a gift :-) Thanks Ozkiz
