did you know that there is a limit to how many computer games can be made(at least until monitors have a get higher resolutions). its something like:

(25165824000000)/average number of frames in a game

my games are only as good as the people who play them...
so if my game is crap then its your f******g fault!

That's not games, that's screen pictures. There is a big difference.

There can't be a limit to the number of games that can be made, even if 'every' idea has been used you can still play around with the math behind the game to make it 'new'.

~I see one problem with your reasoning: The fact is that is a chicken~

There is no limit to how many computer games can be made.

There is no limit to how many songs can be written.

There is no limit to crime.

There is no limit to advertising.

There is no limit to human nature.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Your algorythm would more correctly be written

((screen width()*screen height())*screen fps())*gameDuration

gameDuration of course holds the value of infinity which completely despoils the algorythm, up until that point a typical screen resolution of 1024x768 running at 60fps would yield the result: 47,185,920. For arguments sake we could take a typical gameplay duration as 8 hours and that is 1,358,954,496,000 possible games which factors onscreen display and any possible deviation of AI, control input etc.

Now there is one snag with all of this, did you stop to consider sound?

And I'm the one who corrected Andy on spelling algorithm

And to be an uncle in not too long...

Frankly when a game starts printing the exact same screen from another game, I won't be playing it anymore. So pretending that we were stuck with 1024x768 resolution for whatever reason, Froog's concept stands.

My Uncle introduced me to Black Sabbath...he is effectively cooler then Mattman...plus he introduced me to some weird sh*t too, (orgasm imitator) and the genius of ozzy, plus he looks like kid rock exept a bit fatter and much stronger, he also used to work with computers

You're just jealous cuz the voices don't talk to you!!!
