Let me say up front I am not a great programmer. but I have this Idea I may work on. It would be a play by mail game. Each player would design a fighting battle bot to play against an opponents battle bot. Each player would design the bot and then program the bot. The game would be based on a certain amount of money to buy the parts...defensive and offensive. when the bot was fully designed..and it would be designed for a specific play field. you would click on save and a text file would be generated that you can cut and paste into an email to your opponent. He would then load in his bot..and the text file you sent..and click begin match. a SAPI voice would then call off the battle to you. there would be appropiate sounds for the battle.
you would not be able to change the bot during the match. you would be stricly an observer. If the programming is done right..both people should hear the same exact battle on their own computer. The outcome should be the same on each system. the text file would be encoded so no cheating would be permitted. No IP address would be needed...as the only internet you need is the EMail your opponent will send you. an editor would be provided to create the playfields. things like power up pads to recharge the bot, obstacles like walls to block shots, maybe some offensive and defensive weapons laying on the playfield to pickup? this is the basics I have hashed out so far.. any ideas on this from the gaming gallery?
