Project Proposal

Brainstorming Ideas

1. Minesweeper – puzzle game in which the user clicks on blocks to reveal what is beneath. There are numbers to indicate adjacent mines and if a mine is pressed then the game is lost.
2. Pong – User plays by controlling a bar that moves up and down vertically. The goals is to keep a moving ball from going off the screen and to score on the AI opponent.
3. World’s Hardest Game – 2D obstacle course in which the user uses arrow controls to get a small block to the finish line while avoiding enemies
4. Chrome Dinosaur game – A 2D platformer where the user controls a small running dinosaur to avoid obstacles
5. Tic-Tac-Toe – A game in which the user plays tic-tac-toe against a simple AI

Selection Criteria

1. Ease of coding – creating an AI for the game might get complex
2. Could be played indefinitely – making levels could become cumbersome
3. Controlled by touch input
4. Preferred a skill-based game over a strategy game
5. Something that could be easily displayed on the PROTEUS – low pixel density and 2D
6. Game had to be lightweight for the PROTEUS to run it
