Hi all,
As there seems to be some interest in holding a competition this year, Ian and I have been racking out brains to come up with some suggestions for an interesting competition. The list we have so far is :

  • Cut Scene engine - Thats right basically a story telling engine that is typically used to push the story along. Think Machinima, but could be 2D or 3D. Maybe picking your favourite movie scene and re-creating it with computer graphics and code. NO pre-rendered stuff, it must all be scripted and real-time.

    A game that can be controlled by someone with disabilities. EG, controlled by 1 key press, voice recognition, webcam interaction etc.

    A maze based game.

    A sport based game (arcade or manager/statistical style) as it is the Olympics this year.

    An educational game.

    Something similar to this java based game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocode I'm quite interested in this as you compile your own tank and let it do battle against others.

    Multiplayer collaboration game : (2 or more players on the same pc of connected via the internet). This would in some way be going back to our competition roots and was the very first competition called Dog Fight that PGD held


If you have any other competition suggestions, this is the thread to post it in.
