   small game suggestions
  Me and a few others have been planning a game for quite some time now, but it's of a scale that we're not capable of handling at the moment. What are some simple little games you would like to see that we can make to get a little experience?If it makes any difference, we plan to use SDL/OpenGL.   
  what scale is your planed game and what is your current skill level?   ;  Try making a tetris clone, or even a simple side scroller game. There are tons of small games you can choose: tetris, pacman, Super Mario :p.Make a game that seems fun to you. If you don't make what you think is fun, then it isn't fun making it.EDIT: Seeing kaze's post, I'd like to note that I was assuming you have some 2d coding experience since you stated that you are using SDL/Gl.PS: Can't forget to add pong to that list.   ;Quote:what scale is your planed game and what is your current skill level?The scale is far from big enough to see on shelves for $50, but we're hoping to get it on XBLA eventually. I've been programming tools like map editors and INI loaders for years now, but the most I've done for an actual game was make a 2D renderer :SQuote:Try making a tetris clone, or even a simple side scroller game.

I recently made a tetris clone, so I think I'm ready for a mario clone. ;) But what's the fastest way to make a map editor or something for that? I've been using GTK+, and although I like the results, it takes forever. And I'm not planning to spend a ton of time on a "practice" game. Maybe the maps can be stored as text?   ;  I've you've been coding map editors for years now, it shouldn't be too hard ;).Other than that, I really don't know. Just play around with it until you get it. I really wouldn't mind seeing a half decent Mario clone come to think of it.
