Collab game for great OC

Name: Anonymous 2011-12-30 11:12

The 2012 resolution thread (http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1324897198) took a turn after some riders suggested collaborating to make a video game. This thread attempts to more formally continue that line of thought.

Main points from previous thread:
0. /prog/riders of 2012, unite
1. Collaborate to make vidya game
2. Should be easily extendable by non-programmers to make Original Content
3. Make a simple campaign to demonstrate scripting so others will be able to learn and contribute their OC

Goal of this thread:
0. /prog/riders interested in the game idea, stand up and be counted (please use a throwaway name#trip)
1. We can see what set of skills are available in the group (please indicate what you're able to contribute - code in [language], 2D/3D art, text - in order of your ability with each, most skilled first). Feel free to mention anything else that might be useful/important.
2. Based on skills available, we can brainstorm realistic game ideas ITT (simpler deliverable is going to be better, since we likely haven't worked together before - if a solid group forms from the experience, we can later try something more ambitious).
3. Reach consensus on a specific project (reply to any you like, add your own ideas, repeat...).
4. Set up communication channels (IRC/wiki/mailing list) for those who formed the consensus (it's possible more than one project attracts an interested group).
5. Work out details, responsibilities, timeframe, etc. on alternate communication channels.

tl;dr Read SICP.

Initially, you start off with a low Satori level but throughout the game you meet such fun characters as Sussman and Abelson, even Stallman. These wizards tutor your player and you gain arcane understanding which manifest itself as spells. The game will use a heavy amount of actual coding and visual analogies wherever possible.

In order to win over the girls it will be impossible not to master SICP. Perhaps, within the game environment, actually challenges from the community can be submitted to challenge the player to complete them and create cool software. In this way, the user is forced to create original content.

Once satori has been achieved you are now a judge or mentor, and other players can go to you to gain satori levels.
