UNO Robo Blast 2 - A recreation of the #1 card game in SRB2

[antonretrojr]

Here we go again, The iconic friendship ruining card game everyone loves, now recreated in a different game a third time![/CENTER]

If you don't know the rules already, it's simple - get rid of all your cards to win!
Place down the cards that match the discard pile by number or color, into the discard pile itself.
Stuck with no cards that match? Draw from the draw pile.

You can also use different event cards to hinder your opponents - for example, if you put down a SKIP card, the next one in order skips their turn.

WILD cards are your go-to tool if you've run out of cards to use - you can select a color that takes play using one. Don't use them every time you get one, though...

On top of the default theme, you can also play the alternate theme featuring all the SRB2 characters! Flicky and Chaos Emeralds included. Toggle with console variable cardtheme.

If I ever complete the project (hopefully I do), this will be my first mod with console variables.

Spoiler: FAQ

I'll fill this out with more questions as they come down the road.

Q: Will there be extra features (e.g. stacking draw cards)?
A: Every other iteration of Uno outside of Uno does, so expect it coming here too

Q: Will I be able to make custom cards for this?
A: Good question, I actually don't know. Maybe you will be able to add custom themes in which the custom cards can be used? Make sure the theme is available to the console though. The cards' dimensions are 58x86.

Q: Will you release the card sheet for the SRB2 theme so I can play SRB2 Uno at home?
A: When I finish it, sure. Make sure to upscale it though, so the cards won't turn out tiny.

Q: Can I help you with scripting this?
A: Of course! I actually JUST got into scripting for SRB2, so I'm not very knowledgeable with Lua.

Q: How many players are supported in netplay?
A: Four, with spectators. And don't expect bots coming any time soon.

Nevertheless, hype is coming down for SRB2 this year.

I actually think the reverse card should be the Elemental Shield, because fire and water are polar opposites, but the elemental shield has both.

Red, green, blue, and yellow. The Teleport Monitor Icon's colors.

[antonretrojr]

Actually, don't answer. I went with blue.

Normal theme:

SRB2 theme:

EDIT: Just read the replies above.

I went with Eggman because he mixes up things lol. Nice idea, though.

I meant the card's main color - the one it has to match to be able to be played on a number or Skip.
Also, the Wild cards already have those.

Progress report

• Made a mock-up of the title screen image - see the post above
• Created a guide for getting into UNO Robo Blast 2 - download above (modding manual done as I finish coding this)
• Completed the design for the Draw 2 and Wild Draw 4 cards (not for the SRB2 theme, not yet)
• Changed the name from "SRB2 UNO" to "UNO Robo Blast 2"

Quick question- is this an exe or a pk3 mod?

It's probably gonna be a PK3 mod, like SRB2Ware.

Aw, missed opportunity—the reverse card should totally be the Recycler Monitor.

You see, the Recycler monitor is technically not a character - it's an object. But so are the Chaos Emeralds. But Chaos Emeralds actually matter to the plot of Sonic games. The Recycler Monitor is just an item. Then again, so are the Flickies. Except these lil' birds also matter-
How did I not think of this?
Maybe a third theme can come soon, with all the monitor icons as the icons. I could even make a custom icon representing the 2 and 4 cards for the Draw 2 and Wild Draw 4, respectively.
