The game is great, But I feel like we need more colour schemes.
My suggestion is to use an a11y contrast generator.

Mastodon has a bot here: https://botsin.space/@accessibleColors

Gonna refer this here since both are related #23

It's funny because I found that account a couple of months ago and started to follow it for using its palettes in the game. Haven't used yet since the game uses three color instead of two and I 've been busy with other stuff.

Currently the palette system is pretty straightforward. They are located in this json https://github.com/Dariasteam/TowerJumper/blob/master/palette.json and loaded by the game when started. I think the best approach is to created two separated arrays for dark and regular palettes and a custom (maybe even a web version) "game" that allows you to easily create and screenshot the palettes, so everyone could create a pull request with a picture attached.

What do you think?

Having different color palettes, such as dark and regular palettes, is great. As for a separate web version, well, it may be hard to maintain two differing games after a while.

Maybe I didn't explain it well, what I am saying is reuse the same code to create a palette generator, which consist in something like just a scene of the tower with no physics nor controls and three color choosers. Just to show the palettes for make it easier to people create and test them.

Thank you for clearing that up, @Dariasteam.

What colours should we use for the dark palette verses the light one we already have?

Since the background and the ball are the only fixed colors I think we need to find the dark version of those and then build the palettes. I would like the same green for the ball but a less blueish background. Something like the monokai dark color.

Perhaps the background, in some courses, could be a purplish color? Maybe even fuchsia?

I'll play around with some of these colors, and see what I can get.

Here we have the new super fancy palette tester! https://github.com/Dariasteam/TowerJumper/releases/tag/PaletteGenerator

Couldn't be easier to use, just put the three hex values there and press apply. Dark theme button obviously doesn't work yet. I would like you to use it to attach screenshots to the pull requests.
