...I dunno what to code. My list of unfinished projects grows ever longer, but I'm getting better, and closer each time to something playable... honest... time as usual is on-and-off depending on study/work, but hey, I gotta code a game. Something you can download, run, play, and complete. Hmm. Just thinking out loud anyway, any suggestions? What do you want to play? A music game, a hacker game, a 2d fighter, a 2d shooter, or do you want a tool? A limb collision box creator for DM models, a CShop ent .txt parser.. ummmmm. Maybe I'll just do pong Man, I wrote more complete games on my speccy... I think I'm spoilt for choice with all my groovy game dev tools and resoruces these days. Hee Hee.

Do as i do, idle in IRC, and pull out an unfinished project every 15 days and do 10 minutes of coding on it.

When I look back at old code I just think 'ah, I could do that so much better now... it needs a rewrite...' or 'what a mess! how did that EVER compile!' hee hee.

well, what about educational games, where you can learn and play.

Sciences would be good.

Speaking of Educational games ... I think that will be my next game.

A multiplayer game where you fly across a certain historical country performing various tasks. What a fun way to learn geography - to make a video game out of it!

Actually someone at work asked me if I could write a game/app for their kid, lots of sounds and colours etc. May get onto that.. but for now, I'm going to enter the compo. Even if I win the wooden spoon. I started a very basic idea last night and its sort-of-ok, I'll WIP it later today.

The madness continues.
