Hey! Post whenever any new people/requirements come in! (Otherwise I'll probably forget about the compo, and I'll certainly forget the website to check.

What Ook, my requirement's not good enough for you? Mine is the game must have a mini game(s) along the lines of pong or that card match game in Mario3. |

Zaphos: Who sayd that there has to be a plot? Though it would be a bonus when |

No one said there needed to be a plot; I was simply looking at the requirements, and thinking that they would be most easily fulfilled with some sort of plot.

Sorry gnudutch, but you're going to have to come up with another requirement. You're effectively asking people (including yourself btw) to write two games in one week. Try to think more along the lines of the extra requirements we were given for SpeedHack - elements in the game, not extra functionality in the program, if you see what I mean. Mattias is taking part. He told us his requirement in EFNet #allegro: "At least 50% of the text in the game must be written in 1337, Japanese or Egyptian, or with letters in the style of Japanese or Egyptian writing." If you do not know what 1337 is, click here. If you do not know what Japanese is, you obviously never went to a music school with lots of Japanese students As for Egyptian, you should be ashamed of yourself Over half the world population speak Egyptian natively -- |

There are a lot of missing letters on that page... here is my attempt to complete the 1337 alphabet: F - |= J - _) P - ¶ Q - (,) U - |_| Z - ¯/_ Okay, okay, so I'm using +127 characters, so what? And, let me say that I really don't like the "half the game should be written in ..." requirement... |

Realistic? As in ... well drawn?

Isn't it more fun if the requirements are loose and subject to interpretation? For the cat idea, one person might think it's supposed to be well drawn, and another might think it needs to fall asleep a lot or attack the main character when it's hungry. __________________________________________________ |

The rules can be interpreted in any way( as long as their main idea is fulfilled), it would be interesting to see with what someone can come up with interpreting the rules. |

A note on my requirement: Actually it goes like this: "At least 50% of the text in the game must LOOK LIKE 1337, Japanese or Ancient Egyptian." So i dont care if you use a hex editor to write your source, as long as the player sees some nice confusing text. |

What do you mean by "look like?" It has to look like 1337, but not be in 1337? Is that even possible? |

Master Goodbytes: you read through what I said about interpreting the rules, didn't you ? As long as he hasn't said anything else you can interpret the rules in the way you want to. |

Sorry, I won't be able to participate, I just realized. I have too much other stuff to do. -- |

Im glad to tell you that there are 2 more people in IdeaHack now, StevenVI - he's alone and Master Goodbytes, who wants to join a team. StevenVI's requirement is: "There must be a heavy usage of "Cheeze", whatever that's interpreted to mean by the creator." And Master Goodbytes's: "The game must feature a weapon called the 'Relatively Harmless Rubber Ball Launcher.' If applicable, this weapon must be necessary to complete the game" So, anyone who is interested in joining a IdeaHack but thinks that he can't complete a game in a week should post here or mail Master Goodbytes to make a team with him. damned me...

This is going to be one hell of a game I'm another with no time; I'm finally getting a lot of work done on my own stuff. -- |

I've got a good idea for a game going and I can associate all the requirements into it, it'll be interesting to see how far I get considering I don't get home 'til 8, then I gotta start on my homework, and I'll probably have no time to work on it. Having no time isn't an excuse . I'll probably throw it all together in an hour or so. -Steve __________________________________________________ |
