A lot of you have been wondering what I've been up to lately. College takes about 90% of my time, so I haven't had a lot of a time to myself. One of the clubs I joined is Gamebuilders. Im learning how to use a 2d game library called HGE. Our group is coming up with a bunch of arcade-like games. I plan on working on a platformer idea I came up with: Super Einstein!
Starting off with a mario-based pseudo engine, it will be slightly more puzzle than action. The pipes will be replaced by worm holes. The enemies are just equations that are blatently wrong, and when you jump/attack them, they rearrange into their correct form. You can even use some equations as blocks, etc. The blocks that slowly disappear after time will be replaced by an ultra-long tautology currently being concived by my TA. When they become true they disappear completely. If i include any vechicles, i am gonna use the infinity sign. I am even gonna decorate the clouds with a little PV=nRT (ideal gas law). If anything, this project will help me learn some of the many equations I need to know in college

sound vey cool, this will be some kind of math/physic project, right? I can't wait to see how it will turn out, feel free to post screenshot when you can

Nice to see you again btw

it's cool your college has a game programming club. i hope where ever I go to college, i cann still continue programming as a hobby.

yea thats a good thing, if you go to a school that doesnt have one at least if you can have programming classes as an option (at least twice per week) its also good

The first meeting (where we will actually be working on the game) is on Sunday. cant wait! (Ya, the idea was accepted!)

is the other crzyrbl member of this forum in the team, like the megaman RPG?

Nope, he went to Northern Illinois University.

It begins...

Wow, that is the most interesting idea I have heard in a long while..I really am looking forward to this, and that char looks nice as heck!

Hey, very creative idea! I look forward to seeing how this progresses.

We had a brainstorming session today. Here's the (ambitious) story we came up wih. Einstein, experimenting on something, gets sucked in a wormhole, and, sorta destroys the universe. (The original story was that he just gets sucked in to another universe and has to find his way back.) So now Einstein must reconfigure the cosmos! The adventure begins as you find yourself in a place where many worlds and "races" have collided (the universe of discourse). Einstein (and the background) start off looking like nothing more than a bunch of black and white scribbles (no clear sounds as well).

The first "race" you meet is from the plane of geometry. they are shapes that used to look like shapes, but now they are messed up squiggles. Wrong equations in the area have corrupted and distorted the inhabitants, so you must
SOLUTIONATE THEM!!! After going through the level and defeating the boss equation or meeting an objective (puzzle maybe?), the geomepa are restorated and they gladly restore shape to the world and, of course, yourself. Through another wormhole, you meet another "race" called the that are colorful blobs, whom each have a faded color to them. Same thing as before, solutionate the wrong equations, restore color to the universe. next is of course a sound level, self-explainatory. The one after that may be a nature/DNA/animal of some kind level. The final level involves going through a dangerous castle (floating for anime ref?) where at the the end you find a very big, very wrong, equation known as "the model of the universe." Beat him, and the wormholes start to disappear. hope you can make it to the last worm hole back to your lab before the universe of discourse disappears ;P

theres more, but i dont feel like typing anymore :zzz:

that may be a great product to make ppl learn at school, because often students doesnt want to fill up forms on a PC awnsering all sort of questions. If there's some interactivity and gaming stuff incorporated in it it make them more motivated. The idea sound nice

sorry, but this is not going to be a product that teaches people. This is merly a(n artistic) game.
