   Need idea for game (script based)
  Hi,I have to make a game in C++ using Lua/Python for my scripting class. We have 2 months, so I was wondering what a good project would be ? It can be any kind of game(2D/3D), basically the engine stuff is controlled in C++, and the game logic/events etc in the script. Any Ideas of what project I should attempt, hopefully something which has extensive use of the scripting aspects so I can learn that stuff ? I was thinking along the lines of 2D-RPG or FPS, but anything will do.Thanks!   
  Make Sim Pond, simulate life in a pond. Use scripts for all the creatures and objects and model out how they interact with each other. This will really force u to think about how to program object oriented and you'll learn alot.Good Luck!-ddn   ;  If you're feeling up to it, perhaps make a board game engine and have the scripting determine the rules of the game, so that you could create checkers, chess, or even something like Candy Land all through script.   ;Quote:Original post by ShinkaFudanIf you're feeling up to it, perhaps make a board game engine and have the scripting determine the rules of the game, so that you could create checkers, chess, or even something like Candy Land all through script.I like that idea! I'm not 100% sure, but till now thats my first choice. This way I can even create new board games and use the same engine and I'll get to do a lot of scripting as well.
