I have no idea what to program!!! I am very bored. Please help. Just to get an idea of my ablities my recent games have been duck-hunt, fighter game with 1 dimensional scrolling, checkers (no good AI), a puzzle game that breaks up a bmp (good user-interface). Kinda sad Any ideas at all would be nice!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks! God''''s last message to creation Sorry for the inconvinience

Make a 3D Duck hunt, or a 3D shooter - sounds like you got 2D under control!

Or work on the checkers AI. Learn about trees... you make a tree of possible game outcomes given the possible moves (well some of the outcomes, and some of the moves) and choose the one that leads to the best position. Assign points to each checker, a king is worth double, if it''s in the corner (protected) it''s worth more... a peice that can be captured is worth half... etc.. pick the move that has the highest points for the CPU or lowest for the player...

Why don''t you make a 2d shooter? They are fun, if you have ever played Metal Slug for the Neo Geo. It is one of the funnest, best made games I have ever played. Just a thought.

I have a good idea. Make a strategy game. More exactly a tactical game. You command a squad and kill bad guis.

Yeah that would be original, I have never played a game where you kill Graphical User Interfaces.

alright... where did I put my gun, and where did windows run off to...

If you like tactical/strategy games, go for one in 3d. I think that would be really cool. Not real-time either. Have turns and stuff. Like Panzer general.

Yeah! Keep the Graphical User Interfaces too!!
