Subject: [stella] And now, for my next trick... From: "Andrew Davie" <adavie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2001 23:12:24 +1100 |
I have two projects in mind, but can't really decide which to do. a) The Core. Rembember 'The Core'? A guy called Paul Oswood - about two, three, years ago... pulled a major scam with his game 'The Core'. See http://www.plethora.net/~paulo/thecore.html Took a lot of money from prospective buyers, then just disappeared. Well, I really liked the game idea when I first read about it - and now that I know a lot more about the 2600, I'd really like to see this game come out. And so I thought... why not do it myself? There's a pretty good game description, and even a screenshot. Fake or not, its a good place to start. I figure this is the game that really wants to be made, and I've even got the new title ready... "enCore". Paul can hardly complain... ! I'd use the joystick and/or paddles for control - but most everything else would be exactly the same. b) Life on Mars. An implementation of John Conway's life (in at least a 32x32 - or possibly up to 40 x 64 - grid). All in orangy/red colours, and tied in with the recent claims/discovery of fossilised life-signs in the martian meteorites discovered in Antarctica. I am aware that I don't have enough memory to store 40x64 bits... but I still believe it is possible to achieve this resolution. I thought one could install some of the pretty neat patterns as template/library objects, and whilst this project wouldn't exactly be a 'fun game' - it would be pretty cool, and a nice tie-in to the recent discoveries. So, what do you guys think about these. Which would YOU like to see?
