Your Task

You have until the end of the month to do something creative using the words above.
You can do anything you'd like. Draw a picture, take a photo, write a poem, make a game, compose a tune, film a video.
Literally anything, as long as it's creative (and as Safe-For-Work as is possible!)
Be creative, and add it to the thread of creativity.

Be as inspired as you can from the list of words.
You may use as few or as many of the words as you'd like, within your creativity, and can post as many things as you wish throughout the month.
There are an additional set of ideas, below, automatically generated from the list of words, which may or may not provide additional inspiration.

Let the Mind Poke inspire you.

When you post anything creative to the thread, be sure to leave an inspirational word, which will be gathered and used for next month's Mind Poke.

Will there be voting, and a "Winner"? Possibly. But only if YOU make it worthwhile, by showing your creativity.

 		Coffee Run sounds do-able, esp once I've completed my Deflemask to NES tool

 		I didn't really use blitz much though so, I think it's more of a case of what works best for each person. Although, it can be handy having it on a website, even if it's just localhost



Am imagining something kinda excitebikey, where you have to reaach the rallier before they start their race with enough coffee left (you can spill some along the way) that they're good to win their race. Too slow to arrive, = bad end, not enough coffee = meh end, enough coffee, good ending.

Although I've only done flat scrolling so far, so I may have to curtail/ adapt my ambitions depending upon time.

 		Thanks Will sketch out the main screen tomorrow night hopefully, got the kids all weekend so I doubt there will be much time for it then But I will work on improving the ease-of use of this audio tool.

 		Maybe multiple characters (speed, acceleration and balance would be good stats)



Looks alright for a little running waiter frame?

 		Proto Game screen



The player grew taller.

Am thinking you have to Jab A and B to gain up speed then use the D-Pad to steer your character about.

Hazards like dogs, crowds, cars, potholes, etc. I guess more along the lines of paper boy in some way?

Gonna keep this Gif handy for reference frames:

 		Woohoo!
That looks like it's coming together well enough. Bet that BGs eating up the memory, though!

 		It's just screen shots but yeah, it feels like more of an idea so far. The BG shouldn't eat too many tiles up as there's a fair bit of pattern looping in there.



Before I pop off to pick the kids up, I figured I'd see what sorta things I could bung in there that might look not too out of place.

 		Quickie UI this morning, Use the coffee cup as the life bar, I guess berries could give you a quick speed up when collected?

 		Layla saw the screenies and said that I should add a Karen into the mix



Managed to fit her into 8 pixels width which is good news. Lots of tiles free.

Might use Tiled to help speed up the transition to the screen itself as it'd help out, although I would be sacrificing ROM space... ehhh, I think I'll be fine with that this time around.

Also, it has layers, yay!



Will try to get this imported into the NES tonight.

 		Tangentally related, I picked up some coated 400gsm card from the printers on the way back from the gym, the print quality from my printer was awful as I probably had the wrong setttings, but I could just ask them to print it out themselves and the box feels right.
