Re: [pygame] Collaborative game in 8 weeks.

Just so we all know what people are talking about, let's describe what
we mean by these ideas.

(This is just my interpretation, let me know if I'm wrong, also add
anything that I'm missing, but let's try to keep under 10 points)

> 
> * zelda style game. 
- top-down scroller
- human controls one character, cpu controls multiple
- one player
- fights take place in rooms with walls and other obstacles

> * take the zelda game online. 
- top-down scroller
- human controls one character, cpu controls multiple
- multi-player, internet, all humans are "good guys", all cpus are "bad
guys"


 * PvP Command and Conquer style
- top-down scroller
- human controls squad of characters
- 2 player, internet
- different characters can have different kinds of guns
- multiple maps with different objectives (cap the flag, protect the
hostage, etc) on each map

> * a "heroes of m&m" type game. 
(I don't know what this is)

 * Nethack style
- top-down scroller
- human controls one character, cpu ..?
- one player
- character has inventory
(I've never played this either)

 * Commander Keen style
- platform scroller
- human controls one character, cpu controls multiple characters &
obstacles
- one player
- primary attack is projectile
- power-ups for jumping, health, powerful shots

 * Mario style
- platform scroller
- human controls one character, cpu controls multiple characters &
obstacles
- there are around 4 or 5 jumping/ducking/etc puzzles per level
- multiple paths to finish a level
- primary attack is melee
- hidden areas & powerups are found by exploring

 * Zombie madness style
(Is this like the original Gauntlet?)

 * Racing game
(like what? GTA 1?  Mario kart?)


> * Massively multiplayer pixel game.  
(could use an explanation here, too)
