Hehe, I know exactly what you mean, same here. By the way, a most brilliant thread hijacking I pulled off here :)

Oh well that's pretty much the same thing anyways, I mean it's function calls and data structures that matter the most, and they're the same for both C and C++. I didn't rely much on tutorials anyways, it's easier to start with an example C SDL program (there's one out there on the wiki) and...

"Everything that can be invented has been invented." --Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899 How close minded <_<. May you read your post again in 15-20 years ;) Ah, well keep it somewhere on the side, a few members of the gp2xdev community including me are working on a...

Probably, but I'd say, it's not how new and original your game idea is that matters so much, it's coming up with it independently from any other game. My point is, people think about other games when they think up a game idea. I think they really should avoid doing that, rather ignore anything...

Slightly off-topic : why must all game ideas be "some other game with a twist"? Hey I know what I'm gonna do next, a random game idea generator. Here's a code snippet from it : CODE printf ("Basically a %s clone except %s", name_of_game[rand()%nlist_size], twist_list[rand()%tlist_size])...

Awesome idea! But the picture doesn't look too good, besides it looks like the buttons on the right side are not organised in a square. Great feat though! Almost makes me wish I had an iPhone although I love my N95

I know I'm jumping a bit late into the topic, but wouldn't it be faster to just ask zodttd to be let in/to view the sources? Oh nevermind my comment, as the saying goes, a few months spent coding can save you a few seconds spent typing a PM ;)

-It's not because you use the Quake III engine that it'll look so much like Q3 (by all means don't have any HUD) -Since when is looking like Quake III such a bad thing? -Considered you'd use practically nothing from Quake III how would it look like Quake III? -Who said you HAD to use the Quake...

Good idea :). But what did you see on Wikipedia?

What I had in mind was a 3D FPS/TPS shooter with randomly generated buildings/city (but not necessarily, but making a random building generator would be more realistic and interesting than actually creating an entire city by hand)

Disclaimer : I know that the very concept of generation utterly irritates some people out there, and I'd like to most kindly invite them to not participate to this discussion. It recently came to my realisation that technically the Pandora would be about a generation ahead of the handheld...

The story WOULD be lousy, no matter what anyone says, I can bet money on that. The point of my post was, if you think the gameplay you're thinking about isn't fun on its own, think it up again. Well if we apply my idea you'd win the game, but score only one point ;)

Yeah so suddenly wrapping it up in a lousy story makes it so much more fun. If you think the gameplay on its own is lacking then don't try to make up for it using something else like a story, give gameplay some thoughts. tens of horus of thoughts. Hundreds of hours of thought. Think about how...

Well you can do like rappers and say Dub instead. Like "Dub-C" instead of W.C. I for one love the NSEW idea. Maybe then I'll remember my west from my east.
