Our first weekend challenege has started. Bitplane made the rules in the older thread, but we've decided to use a single thread for each weekend. Here are week 1's rules:
Okay, here's the plan..
make an arcade action game that you loved, before monday morning.
No restrictions on the APIs or anything used, just have lots of fun making it!
I think I'm gonna do a remake of Jetpac, which I spent a lot of my youth playing.
Some other ideas in case you're stuck-
Missile Command (easy)
Pong/Breakout (easy)
PacMan (pretty hard)
Spy Hunter (medium)
Q*Bert (easy)
Joust (easy)
Donkey Kong (easy)
Phoenix (medium)
Defender (tough!)
LET BATTLE COMMENCE!! (who's playing?)
like he said, lets play!

Here's my multiplayer hotseat pong. The readme file explains the controls. I think before the weekend is over I'll add in sound and I MIGHT add a computer opponent
EDIT : Sorry, Windows only.

you've got ages left yet monkey, let's see some AI!
Armen said he was doing 'digger', I guess it's like digdug or boulderdash. Erus said he'd attempt snake in 3D, which should be pretty cool.
I'm afraid my game is gonna be a bit of a letdown, I didn't realise they'd already remade jetpac twice... my graphics are gonna suck in comparison. I'll try to keep it true to the original though

I'll try to get some AI done but I may have gotten bit by a brown recluse so I'm gonna wait and see the progress on that...
I updated my DL link with teh basic sound and stuff.. and I doubt your project will be as much of a letdown as Pong ;D

Ahh jetpac, sweet, sweet memories!
I actually started a pong game, but it was already taken
But anyway here is a screenshot:
I think I'll do asteroids, if thats ok.

Here's mine:
Use cursor keys and shift. Extra life awarded at 20,000 points. The the trick is to get as many extra lives for the UFOs (5th level), you'll need em!

If you wanna recompile, source is in media.zip. beware! nasty code, written on the fly with no planning
