Ok you budding game designers, I need to think of a simple game for my ps2 programming class.

It has to be a very simple game. I was thinking of harrio, i.e. a cheap crappy clone of old school Marrio (well, what do you think commader keen was?)

some alternative ideas would be good

Your task is to demonstrate your understanding of Playstation 2 programming by creating an application which utilises and takes advantage of the hardware architecture of the console. You should choose the exact functionality of the application so as to best show off your understanding of Playstation 2 development. Possibilities range from a graphics demonstration program through to an interactive computer game. It is important, however, to emphasise that the application being written is targeted at the PlayStation2 games console and as such the program should be written in a manner which reflects and takes advantage of the architecture of this target machine.

The application must contain the following features::-

·        User interaction via a control pad.

·        Texture mapping.

·        Vertex transformation clipping and lighting with Vector Unit 1.

You may also choose to implement some or all of the following features to enhance your application:-

·        The use of VU0 in MACRO and/or MICRO mode.

I was thinking bowling....I don't think have to make a 3d game as you can still have essentially a 2d game using all or most of the above.

I just thought someone may have had a really good idea for a small game.

some kind of flight game, with a jet pack?

i dont know how limited by resource are you, there are a few things you could suggest like doing some kind of age of empires game or sim type game, but i dont know if you could do it,

how about an adaptation of risk or something
