DopeFish Applet

[CyberTiger]

I'm just a java programmer, just wondering if anyone has some ideas for an Applet Game, and I'll try and put one together :)

(if anyone wants to give me a job as well :)

Make a Pacfish game! Have the Dopefish go around eating dots and being chased by Keens and stuff!

[Scyth]

I was thinking just that, a PacFish game.
A Couple of points:

-The Dopefish shouldn't be chased by Keen,
Keen should be like a cherry in the original game. Might I suggest that mines or those zappy things chase the fish.

-Keep the borders Dopefishish. (ishish?)

-Did somebody already make PacFish?

cya, scyth

Somebody already made a Pacfish GIF, but no game. Actually, I think it was Justin. :)

[Justin]

Actually, Benjamin Orth made the Pacfish graphic, but I remember discussions on the AOL Apogee BB years ago (my username was Trilomax) about the same idea, everybody seems to think of it by themselves because its such an obvious concept when you think about it (dang that was a long sentence :)

[Scyth]

So Cybertiger... are you still planning on making that game?

[Justin]

Oh, and Scyth, they're not "zappy things", they're called Sprites. Try reading the instructions next time. ;)

[Scyth]

I did read the instructions, its just that it was 5 or so years ago!

[Cybertiger]

Yeh, o.k. I'm planning on actually coding it :)
Jesus - wish I had an organised method of putting down ideas, and keeping them all in order..

Thanks for the idea - sounds kewl :)

[Cybertiger]

O.k. what chases dopefish?

so far:

You are the Dopefish, you sole ambition in life is to eat school fish, burp, and eat anything else that gets in your way.

What eats Dopefish? O.k. we all know (alledgedly - I'm no expert) the dopefish can't die. (dispite id's efforts) So the question is - what to replace the monsters with? Commander Keens?
Or have a Commander Keen running around dodging dopefish - na, I wanna control a dopefish :)

help???

[Justin]

The Sprites would be good to chase the Dopefish. In the game's instructions, it says something like "even Dopefish avoid these troublesome creatures".
