Another Cat of Another Color

I took Keith's fine "Cat of Another Color" project and decided to make it too complicated for kids. Actually, that wasn't my goal...just my result :) What I wanted to do was: 1) Have the slider show the color number when a color name was typed in 2) Simplify the controls by removing C and S 3) Add more recognized color names 4) Have the cat give an error when the color was not recognized I got carried away as usual and added in "rainbow" as a color and made it so that the arrow keys could be used to fine-tune the color number. === Keith's original notes ==== this is a little project to play with the question and answer and the colors!

Wallz

(in development) In the land of Grod, the evil Ogre King rules with an iron fist. Anybody he doesn't like, or opposses him is thrown into the dungeon. In fact he's thrown so many prisoners down there, he's had to expand the dungeon FAR beyond copacity. The dungeon has continued to grow and grow, so much so that not even the guards and warden can find their way out. You are Homber, a lowly thief. You were recently captured and put in the lowest level of the dungeon for stealing the Key to the Ogre King's treasure. Your only desire is to escape your prison and steal the treasure, but you've forgotten where you hid the key. Perhaps if you follow the clues, and solve the puzzle of the Dungeon, you will escape and claim the treasure for yourself. Movement: up, right, left, down.
