Phoenix	What about a maths game next week? Or have we already had that one?
Wed, 28 Mar 2007, 07:34
Jayenkai	We've had the "Edutainment" challenge, which pretty much resulted in only Maths based entries. I am actually doing ZeroG next week. Me and Magicman were discussing this last night, and couldn't decide which was better, Future or ZeroG, so.. We picked both Whilst on the topic of Future workshops, in just under 2 month's time, it'll be Workshop #100. So, if you've any super suggestions for that, leave them here. ('cos we don't want every workshop topic filled with nothing but ideas for other workshops!) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

PieMan	How about for the Workshop #100 the challenge is to create a series of mini games based on some of the best previous Workshops, or something like that, i dunno, any other suggestions? -=-=- A pie a day causes heart failure

power mousey	go for it Pieman. make that Bakers' Dozen. ahhhhh, a light bulb warms up and glows. In an intro screen, you have a box of doughnuts. Winchells donuts and plenty of maple bars too. Anyway, you choose your doughnut. The doughnut is taken out and crunched a little. And then a level of a random or specific mini-game is introduced. Inorder to sample other doughnuts, and the big pie in the sky prize at the end you must complete each level and with a good score or percentage. cheers, power mousey

Blitz3Dman	How about a graphics quality challenge? Allow only values that are multiples of 32 (and the number 255) for the colors and see how appealing we can make our graphics? we'd call it the 9^3 colors challenge! -=-=- There are 10 kinds of people in this world - ( Insert 16 remarks about to what extent people know hex here )

Jayenkai	Hmm.. Well, the whole "Finish it off" Month thing didn't quite start off very well. Seems we're getting no entries this week. I did start something.. I didn't finish it off! So, this week we have a choice. Option 1 : We can go ahead as planned and have a Zero Gravity challenge. Option 2 : We can do the "Remake an Atari 2600 Classic" challenge that sprang to mind whilst reading this months Retro Gamer article about the making of Pitfall. Quick vote : One or Two? (With the other being kept away till next week) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
