Customize what the AI looks like

[MaRcuSTheDAWG]

This is an idea where you can choose what the AI core module would look like, here's a list

Pixel: The current one, self explanitory

Arorua: The old one, also speaks to itself

Redeye: A HAL 9000ish look, big red orb

Black Box: A WOPR look to it, except black.

Mac: A old macintosh computer, with a yellow pixelated smiley face, like the on on the AI status screen.

Before you choose a name, a list above will pop up, like when you are observing, but with those names, then if you choose one it shows up in the game, the name choosing would come before this.

I hope this is in the next update!

Instead of having it as a pop-up list, why not just allow players to select a favourite module in their preferences?

Along with that, players should be able to pick a favourite AI name too.

[MaRcuSTheDAWG]

That would be awesome!

By the way, they can all be unscrewed and pushed and pulled around.

Why don't you make the sprites for the black box and HAL eye instead?

I'm not A good spriter... Sorry.

I'll do it.

What I have in mind is putting a face as such:


I'll have this done in an hour or so. This is alot easier than you think.
Here's what I am doing:
Pixel
Arorua
Redeye
Mac
What i'm also doing:
GlaDoS
AM (allied mastercomputer)
What i'm not doing:
Black Box (it has no face)

[MaRcuSTheDAWG]

Black Box would have a cylon thing, you knoiw, that eye

[Readster]

WOPR did kind of have a face...though it was just a few LED lights.

I am all for this idea though. If I was any good at spriting I would also be jumping on this.

Why are you working in 64x64? Tiles are 32x32 and (to my memory) the AI is just one tile. It's especially clear because you're working over a sized-up base. Even if you resize these to fit it'll mess up what you have already, like so:
