I really, really, really, recommend Flash for the game. It is extremely easy to learn comparably to anything in C++, and there are tons of pre-built physics engines you can use.

Probably because they would get the novelty sales. It generates tons of "that's cool" responses with those who actually do have tablets. It covers up that otherwise it's a generally bland RTS.

It looks meh. Also it was made for a touch screen which means it probably is only geared for that experience.

Happy 20th!

Happy 20th, idiot!

You do realize that the types of people who are going to be advertising in this way aren't going to be the ones following or even looking at a rules list.

Toribash is seriously fun. Once you've played for a few hours and you start to get the hang of things, it's amazing how realistic it is. Though only aikido is really good, the rest are unrealistic and out of control. I've been pushed with my back nearly on the ground, with only my hand in the way, a...

I would go with the dark platformer. If you can nail the story, and create a game with simple, enjoyable gameplay (see knytt stories) it could definitely be a winner.

Evidence or it didn't happen.

Doi.

"The best characters to make are generally the simplest."

Windows Movie Maker = G-a-r-b-a-g-e. Complete garbage. GARBAGE. Gar. Bage. Garrrrrrrrrrr. Baggggggggee.

iMovie isn't much better. I've used both many times.

Just start doodling and see what comes of it. The easiest characters to make are generally the simplest.

Cellular Automata? Cool! Hope that goes well. I can't really imagine if that would work any better than just your basic tile-based system, but sounds cool. Reminds me a lot of Dwarf Fortress's physics with gasses and water.
