Im currently studying a computer science degree and as Im a fruity fanatic Ive chosen to design a program for a machine for my programming module. Now, some of the modules in the past have been sold on to companies(packages for nightclub/restaurant design,landscaping packages etc.). When finished my degree(next yr) Ill be writing to the gaming companies looking for work as a programmer. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions/bits they might like to see on a new machine + I need inspiration for my project. Any ideas will be gladly welcomed.
Thanx all

[sarcastic]Try putting in a simple, in-built emptier, then sell it on to a select few?[/sarcastic]
What language you doing it in? I may have to do something similar next year...
how about using idea from different games or things you enjoy playing
A King Kebab clone! Make something that plays very similar to King Kebab on PC and I'll be happy :P
What language are you going to be doing this in.. I found coding a fruity with a feature board and all was massivly complicated and got pretty messy but thats probably just me. At least it aint in ASM or something...
I found the percentage/gaming engine was the hardest bit to code to allow for some form of progression instead of just making everything true skill or following random moves around board etc... Unfortunatly I no longer can find the source code to mine but I would advise you take a look at the software illusions versions of PC fruity games as they are pretty good.. There is also a very good one on PSCode.com written in VB but I dont know what it is called but have a good look and you will find it.
Why has it come to this?
i thought about this a while back. my idea was to take the best features from all your favourite machines to create an uber machine if you like. i decided that it would not have an emptier (at least not on purpose!) but somehow would reward skill and the average joe alike. i know this is prolly the unattainable goal of all the fruitie companies but imagine a cross between old jpm skills and barcrest/impulse streaks and you have something to attract eveyone.
you are living proof that god has a sense of humour.
create it based on this board!
name the features after the players on here, the better player the higher up the feature ladder they are. the new private forum could be your top feture. personally i will take offense if i get the first feature space, as then i will be commonly known as pound plus. you could have posts instead of shots, possibilities endless.
bones
ps. actually that was a stupid idea, i appolgise, unles someone finds it remotely amusing?
Firstly thank everyone for some great feedback, got some great ideas from it, and bones, I did find that quite funny actually. But on a more serious note Ill be planning it all using z-programming,I doubt many of u know a lot about this as there is only a few places in the country that teach it. Its similar to java. For my actaul program, java will probably be used/vb maybe. I like the idea of taking bits out of all the classic games that I loved playing(spin on it) for example, also I gotta put something in there to keep everyone guessing otherwise there is no fun in playin, loads of little tricks and stuff.
