Hey all,
As coders go, I ain't the quickest. Progress in my games is usually slow, so slow in fact, if I went any slower I would be taking code away rather than adding it.
So I've decided, I need a challenge. If anyone was around when Kangaroo Beta 2 did his FPS in weekend challenge (search the wip board) you'll know how great it was, and how much interest it created in his game.
Now, I aren't that good at coding but I want to be challenged.
Something like, make a game with only one key control, or, make a game using code only (no separate media). Not, make a vice city clone or make a game better than final fantasy.
The only thing I wouldn't like is being given a limited amount of time to make the game, it's my birthday on Sunday and the last thing I want to be doing is spending all day sat at the computer, if I have as long as I want at least I can make my game as good as possible before release.
I know there's the 20 line challenge, and I've tried it before, it just isn't for me. I'd like to make something people can learn from, and as a rule I find it pretty hard to learn anything from 20 line challenge code (apart from the fact that there are a lot of people better than me at coding.
)
So, all I ask is that you think of some way of challenging me, something original. Don't think of something but then say "I won't suggest that, because there's no way soapyfish could make a game that sticks to those rules" that's the whole point, I want to do something that no one thought possible, or at least thought VERY challenging.
Obviously though, no MMORPG's.
