How many questions there are in total. For e.g., question 1/25 leads to 2/25, etc.
How many were answered correctly. (There are a couple that I'm not sure if I got wrong or was lucky in guessing.)
How one's score compares to the baseline average. (Not to other players, because other players could be re-taking the test many times or cheating. Take 25 random people, have them play the game once with no training or coaching, and use that as the baseline.)
That is, how was it different? I got all but 1, and it'd be neat to know what primary colour was different. Then you'd know what your eyes have issue with.
Even neater would be a further series of tests on that weakness.
(Some people, mostly some women, have an expressed gene where they can detect 4 primaries. Wonder how that works here...)
Just played again. A nice touch would be the ability to play with the confetti as it falls. Just a thought.
If you look at this on a TN screen it's going to be a lot different than something like a nice OLED. (Not that OLED doesn't have issues, but colors are great on them)
And if you're in sRGB mode or some kind of extended color space. And how the OS is configured.
There were 2 I had to just start hitting squares until I got it right, and one of those I did notice the different one once I started tapping, I probably could have spotted it if I was more intentional. This seemed significantly easier than the standard Ishihara tests for me, which makes me question how well it works to judge color vision. I’m red/green color blind and the Ishihara test usually have me skipping a significant number, because I don’t see anything… to the point doctors bring out a basic red, yellow, green cards to make sure I can see traffic lights.
I’m red/green colorblind but constantly doubt if I am. Every few years I ask an eye doctor if I’m colorblind. The last time I did this they only went through a few pages of the Ishihara test before closing it and saying, “Yep, you’re colorblind.” I’m also able to read reverse Ishihara tests which my non-colorblind friends can’t.
I don’t think I’ve ever called something red when it was green or vise versa when someone’s asked me to identify its color. Red and green look quite different to me! However, I cannot for the life of me spot my dog’s red frisbee in green grass, or pick out a red character among a bunch of green ones without looking at each character. These are both things people in my family with perfect color vision do just fine and without difficulty.
This is basically a textbook description of standard red green colorblindness. Whenever you find yourself doubting whether you actually are red/green colorblind, just go strawberry picking with friends.
- At the end of game show which particular color weaknesses were identified
- Show progress meter (1 of 20)
- I have a red/green weakness and I expected to run into issues. One of the greens was hard to differentiate but I still got it right. I expected it to be harder. Perhaps look up exact pallets for different color perception issues and use those.
It needs a couple of options.
One button option should indicative the person is unable to see any difference, and move on, a second button option should be the box they indicated they were sure is a different colour was not right, and move on. Additionally the tool should map the position of the box when they were sure but were wrong, and keep a record as the person works though the game, just in case their screen is not perfect. Perhaps even come back to the same colour scheme but put the different colour in a different part of the screen.
It shouldn't be forgotten that people actually tune into slightly different colours given some time - fruit and vegetable graders who visually inspect, and those who are working hard to purchase the just right fruit and vegs, find given time and practice, they'll slowly learn to perceive the very minor differences in certain shades or hues.
Edit twice, a couple mins later and another couple for additional clarification.
I'd also like the hex codes and name of the color to pop up somewhere, maybe part of the training mode?
I would love to use this app to practice my color name recognition, not just seeing if I can differentiate them.
