Re: [pygame] Collaborative game in 8 weeks.

Wow.  Such a positive response!  This should be fun.

Below I've collected all the game ideas posted so far.  How about we 
post any more ideas about them here, collect them together again, then 
make a vote on what to do somehow.

Depending on what we decide, we may go to an existing project on 
sourceforge, or somewhere else.  So that'll pretty much decide where 
it's hosted.


So here are the ideas so far.  Any more(or ones that I missed)?




* zelda style game. man that "zelda through time" game on snes was the 
peak of the series. probably have to keep the "scale" of the game a 
little smaller, as it would require heavy efforts from mapmakers and 
gametesters. rating 3 of 3

* take the zelda game online. a little multiplayer online zelda game. 
this would add tons of design work the the previous zelda game, so it is 
probably out of reach. rating 1 of 3

* a squad-style counterstrike remake. two people play against each other 
and control a small squad of toops, C&C style i'd say. different silly 
missions like plant the bomb or rescue the hostage, you know. i'd say 
simple overhead 2d graphics (C&C like). note, when i say C&C like i 
don't mean resource management, i mean point and click little guys to 
move them, they shoot automatically. the only other control might be a 
"weapon switch". rating 3 of 3

* a "heroes of m&m" type game. good fun, i always wanted to do one of 
these. perhaps change the theme from fantasy to 'matrix' or something or 
other. rating 2 of 3

*  http://people.cc.jyu.fi/~shang/pyrogue.zip
   - rogue, nethack, angband style game.


* http://sourceforge.net/projects/pybrian/.   
   - Platformer, Commander Keen like game.

* Zombie madness game.  Where you have to escape an area filled with 
zombies.

* racing game.  Car, water slide, skate board, trolley.

* Massively multiplayer pixel game.  Each player is a pixel(with a color 
of their choosing).  Groups of players have to get together to make things.
