Okay xda, need your help here. Situation is this. For an IT assignment, we are required to develop a game that is simple but addictive. No thanks to my sad imagination, I have no clue as to what to make. This is where you come in. Just post up what you think is a simple but addictive game. Here's the catch, it needs to be simple enough to complete in roughly 4-5 weeks worth of lessons, relatively trouble free to code in Pascal (sad I know, not my language of choice), and it has to be something that suits males and females aged 14-15. To aid in what I'm looking for, the simplicity of maybe Space Invader, Brick Breaker or maybe even something like Doodle Jump. Just post up what you think might be a fun game to play that's addictive. Love to see what people think.
formula one game where u can switch lanes and the others commin rite at ya ... maybe too simple but u can always spice it up with powerups , score and fuel consumption

WOW quick reply! Ok that's going on a list of possibilities. Much better than what I though of! lol
ouch, pascal!
not having done serious coding in it (only when at college we had maybe 1 hour on it - go figure)
racing idea is a good one, not sure how easy it would be, but with the option to have different vehicles/colours could be an option (just to expand on souljaboy)
but in my opinion - can never go wrong with tower defence!
As its for 14-15 yr olds, do it with STIs and condoms as the towers
yeah maybe a doodle jump like game or there this game i realy like where theres a round track and you click (touch screen) and it will go left slightly and the car is constantly getting faster and faster and you have to see how far you can get without touching the sides or a fly the copter like game
how about something like this (look at the gameplay)

that would need an internet procotol and all ... im fairly sure it would be a pita in pascal if even possible
Thanks for all the replies. There are some really good ideas coming through here. I just need to keep in mind that this has to be quite simple so physics engines are probably out of the question. Let alone not having access to them. If it helps, I'm looking for something that you would play in class when you are extremely bored and will quickly catch a trend. There are some really good suggestions. Thanks a lot.
I just thought of one that might be okay. What do you guys think about the world's most addictive game on the iphone? The one that has the red cube in the middle and you have to dodge the blue cubes that bounce off the walls.
haha that is Hard

Problem is that one is 3D. Delphi can't work with 3D because of how crappy it is. haha. I think I may do that box one I was talking about earlier.
something like this?
I couldn't possibly care less about these sort of games. This puts me in, I'd venture, less than 3% of the young male population of this country who can buy an Xbox or whatnot in the first place.
Discuss.
Homework or a public speaking competition? Sweet Idea, will post my arguments once others give me ideas

More like inciting a flame war. ^_^ j/k
I've never liked racing, shooting, or sports games, which I've found doesn't sit well with most men my age (22). Just wondering what fellow techies think.
Usually I get a "wow, I can't believe another human being has different tastes than me" response. I don't think I've ran into a "Wow you're so gay" response but it's only a matter of time. =/

Yep same. I'm different to everyone in my school. Everyones got iphoned, I got a Desire, now everyones jealous haha.. anyways, I like racing and shooting games. Just the real ones. CoD and GT not things like killzone or WoW. Though I don't play often, every 2–3 weeks maybe, I do enjoy some adrenalin pumping through my veins when I due just begore the end of the mussion. It makes me more determined to finish correctly the next time etc..
Everyones always asking me when I'm online next to play a bit of CoD or whatever and I just don't understand how you can become addicted to something that doesn't actually exist. Well it does but not really, you know what I mean : )

LOL been a gamer for too long. But I have never told anyone that they were "gay" because they didn't like to game.
But.. usually they were women.
well im different to everyone in my school.
most of the lads in my year like football and cod.
"medal of honor- is ****"
"driving games - ****"
"every other game apart from cod and fifa- is ****"
i have been called gay because i have long hair and i like rock music and drum and bass (and others).
i think the reason they call you gay is because they don't like people that are different and like other things.
about 1 year ago everyones phones where sony ericssons (crap ones)
and samsung tocco lites (horrible)
but 1 lad had a t-mobile g1.
i had my 7 year old htc himalaya brick (excellent phone)
now quite a few have htc's desires, hero, legend. (and obviously don't know about xda (what a pitty))
people seem to follow other people and call you weird because you are not following.
sorry if i drifted off topic.
i like driving games, fps (half-life excellent!!)
im a gran turismo guy i love that game, i also enjoy a nice helping of cod now and then too, i cant stand football soccer or basketball games though
COD - meh
FIFA - meh
GT5 - drool
Well, an explanation is warranted for the above...
I never really got the hang of FPS games in multiplayer, mostly because I used to pwn at CounterStrike and Half-Life, but a hiatus during my formative days (read, TEENAGE) lost my edge in FPS games. Mostly I will check out the single player experience, and if it gains enough traction amongst my friends, I'll get the original copy. Mostly, for group enjoyment purposes, we game L4D if we wanna play FPS. I'm just waiting for Crysis 2 (as an excuse to upgrade my Gfx card more than anything else )
FIFA... well... is a game for douchetards who imagine that they have the skills needed to take Leo Messi/CR to whatever glories that in real life they couldn't achieve (both for the gamers and the players). Simply said, it gives little to none benefits, and merely act as an escapement and commercial device. For the more serious guys, we play futsal, which is like football played in a netball field. Pacing is fun, especially since players with less stamina can join in and height doesn't bring that much of a benefit (read, GIRLS CAN PLAY TOO). And for the brainiacs, we play Football Manager 2011.
GT5 is going to be something of a old history for me. It's more of a nostalgia device than something of real enjoyment. Back in the days, me and my brother played GT1, GT2, GT3, and probably GT4. To my brother, who is an engineer by now, it is the most accurate depiction of a car on the race-track. I'll skip the nostalgia bit... Anyway, since neither of us own a PS3, and neither of us plans to own a PS3, this game will forever reside in the droolworthy section of our hindbrains, possibly forever.
The problem with me is I'm probably in the less than 0.05% zone. I'm a self-professed geek that likes to party and do sports. I could, enjoyably, spend the afternoon tinkering with my PC/phone or just dump everything to hang out with friends, chilling out and maybe finding the answers to life (we checked, its not 42).
So gaming is cool and all that, but it's not the be all and end all for me
Gotta say... I love GT5 lol. I think I like it more than GT3 or 4 because I'm actually trying now lol. I used to have a Game Shark, Code Breaker, and Action Replay to cheat my way to having (basically) infinite cash, the AI guys wouldn't move, and every car would have like 16x acceleration lol. It made it fun cause I could get what I wanted when I wanted, but ruined the sense of accomplishment needed to make it feel way better. I actually HAVE to try and succeed in this now, which is awesome imo.
Call of Duty is cool, but I'm not into it as much anymore as I am with GT5 now.
FIFA is a game I'll never play. I don't do sports, nor like them; especially soccer.

That is VERY cool and I didn't know that. Sucker as I am for new experiences, it makes me want to play it again with this knowledge.

Haha, I hope I'm reading your implications right: b/c size isn't an issue, women can play the sport side-by-side with men. The other implication would be a little... off-putting. >.<

Sorry I paraphrased your Quote
1) Nothing wrong with Long Hair and playing Bass. I did both for a long time - but now the hair fell out and I play a little guitar (i.e. it stares at me taunting me on the wall collecting dust due to RL stealing all my time)
2) Your unique... just like everybody else
3) Half Life is probably the BEST GAME EVER. And I'm a sucker for driving games. I haven't purchased GT yet as I know my wife would kill me while I was going around the track at 4am.
YOU DON'T LIKE THOSE GAMES!!! wow!!, i didn't know another human being could have such different taste to me.
But seriously 'normal' at my school is f'd up compared to everybody elses, screamo metalheads and emos rule the street and jocks are considered to be on the same level as the scum you find in public toilets... its a weird place.
Im lucky anyway because im a self admitted nerd at school but for some strange reason nobody believes me? (WTF's with that!?!) Which is especially strange considering people are paying me to set up snow leopard hackintosh on their pc's.
My favorite shooter is Gears o' War 2 (can't really call it fps), but, uh, what do you guys think of bioshock? I personally don't like it, much to the disdain of all my friends who are obsessed with it.

Wow, that is strange. At my school there was no "jock" contingency either, but why would there necessarily have to be, stereotypes are stereotypes.
What IS indeed common to probably every school ever are cliques. I'm guessing it's the 'us vs. them' mentality that's so crucial to so many living things.

Soccer is the worst game (notice I didn't call it a sport) in the history of mankind.
I came across SassiBob on the Girls of geek calender models page and...
1. SHE IS HOT
2. One of her hobbies is: Boob connoisseur???
3. Her turn-ons are: Men, women, furry things, nerds, blood, unicorns, trolls, memes, ice picks, google, broken things, snakes, warheads, tits!!!
WHAT!!!!!!!! never knew you were bi
girlsofgeek(dot)com/sassibob/
So hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!
Nice!!!
I was on my way to buy it... but after seeing the other girls, I wanted a sassibob calendar. Looks like I'm out of luck.
I prefer Seena. Not only does she like anime, manga and gaming, but she's also the overnight DJ on AMP Radio 97.1 in So Cal. That girl looks good in person.
sexxxxxxyy
thanks for your such nice sharing with us
creepy thread is creepy.
fwiw sassibob gets my vote outta the bunch and if you guys didnt already know she has her own thread and I think some other members posted pics in there for you guys to uh, enjoy?
HOT????

Geeky Girls coming out! It's cool to see that there are geeky girls out there someone in the world.
There's some very interesting girls in there, with some very interesting hobbies
Don't get me wrong I wouldn't turn down a reach around from any of them

LOL...I'll stick with the AVN girls!
Oh, oh! Geeky girls CAN be hot.
Geek is the new hot man, 4 sure.
Definitely need more girls to ditch the pink/fluffies and embrace the geek. Just not the sitting in front of a computer playing games and not showering part...
Nice one man!
imma go sleep, my hands are kind of tired
I gotta get me one of this!
Not fussy.. any will do
What do you guys think of the new Xbox One that was just revealed today? I think it looks like an amazing console. I am very excited for my new Xbox to be the central hub for all my entertainment. I think it is great how nicely it integrates with your TV.
Halo the Television Series is a dream come true for me. I love all things Halo and now we will get a live action TV series which is awesome. To top it all all Steven Spielberg is the man in charge of bringing this series to life!
I am not much of a Call of Duty fan but the Call of Duty Ghosts world premiere actually got be excited for another Call of Duty. I haven't really enjoyed a Call of Duty game since the first Modern Warfare. I am really excited that Infinity Ward is actually making a new game for once. I didn't think anything of Call of Duty ghosts at first but it really seems like a whole new game.
What do you guys think of the new Xbox? What are you most excited for?

I am happy to release my first 3d game, and also my first paid game. It has been in development for a little bit now and I am hoping to get some feedback on the game. Let me know what you think.
Description:
How far can you make it in "Snowball Run", the winter themed endless running game. Dodge and jump over countless crates to make it as far as possible and beat your previous scores.

Hay!
I'm gonna say you something you'll not like)
It will be really great to see free version to try out physics and to know how it feels.
Screenshots are OK, but there is no video or other way to find out how it works.
Sorry man, I know you was expecting something different, but this is the best thing I can tell you.
I think you need to let more people play your game instead get some paid at your first try..
