Create a game where the controls are limited to one key.
If you think that such idea is bad and can only result in bad games
check UrthWurm ( http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=3809 )
Rules :
- game must be under 1.0MB unzipped(the idea is that you have to
be original and keep it small - mini game)
- controls must be limited to one key; two player mode is
optional and again, each player must only have one key
available to control his character or whatever kind of object;
usage of mouse for game control is not allowed
- usage or libaries is recommended
- using graphic made outside QB is optional but recommended
(you can make it textual)
- game must be playable(it has to have a head and a tail, way
to finish it, way to exit it; implemention of menus and
options is recommended)
- game must be runnable without a sound card
- usage of LOW-RES is recommended since FutureLib and
UGL VESA detection is very bad and most people probably
won't be able to evaluate the game
- you have 34 days to submitt your game in the challenge(deadline
is on 28th of 11th month); if small number of games will be
submitted and there will be requests for prolonging the deadline,
deadline will be prolonged
- after the submittion period ends, poll will be opened so
that submitted games can be evaluated by forum members
Tips :
Each game where you can control your object/character with two keys(left - right movement) you can solve with one key. While you hold the key something moves left and while you don't hold the key something moves right. Or the other way to solve it, the key available changes the direction of movement as you press it.
Hope you'll be insipired. Good luck.
