Hi Charles,
All of those are good ideas, but I think you guys forgot something
important. When Nicol made the suggestion I believe he was looking for
a PC game and not one for an iPhone or Android device. Therefore while
I've seen a lot of good ideas for input using a phone I haven't seen
Hi tom.
this is true, but to be honest I haven't seen this game show anyway and so
it probably wouldn't be on my major priority list even if there were! a
direct game of it.
I was just interested in the question, wich I believe was asked earlier in
this discussion of how you could replicate
How about tilting the phone back and forth to increase your swing, then tap
to release an object to land somewhere specific?. If the target is off to
one side, turn the phone until it is centered, then perform the swing to get
the distance and tap to release. Or rather than tapping, hold down
Hi charlse.
that would certainly work, I was just trying to illustrate the idea of using
various methods of moving the phone and using the touch screen in a single
game, sinse thus far we haven't really see that much interaction in
analogue controls, as papasangre is just tap and move,
Hi Hayden,
Yes, a lot of those challenges would be pretty specialized. One would
have to develop a pretty sophisticated physics engine to perform most
of those challenges, because they require some hand and eye
coordination. I think if written correctly one wouldn't necessarily
have to worry
Hi Tom.
I can see that replicating sophisticated physics for say bouncing a coin off
a table into a jug, let alone replicating the necessary motions to perform
that action (even with analogue control), would be hell to program, however
I don't think that would really be a problem.

Hi all
Those of you who live in the US, have you watched the tv show a minute to
win it?
This show is broadcasted on south african tv on Friday nights 8:00, but the
show takes place in the US.
This game show consists of 10 levels if memory serves.
With each level completed, the players' money are
Hi Nicol,
I've seen that game show before, but not for quite a while. Its no
longer in production, and the Game Show Network, GSN, shows reruns of
it on Sunday afternoons as I recall. In any case because the show is
no longer in production and is no longer being shown on NBC that's
probably why
Hi Tom.
I've not heard of this game show before either,either in it's original
american form (though American game shows are only occasionally shown in the
Uk), or if there was a Uk version made which sometimes happens with popular
american shows, such as the very famous play your cards right
Hi Dark,
Well, I just checked Wikipedia and there was definitely a UK version
produced. However, the game show didn't take off very well which is
probably why you haven't heard of it. It only lasted a couple of years
over here, and now resides on the Game Show Network which plays new
and old game
I think the real issue is how specialized each challenge would be, e.g. how
heavily each would have ot be documented because of the variety of
challenges present on that show. The other issue is for the more difficult
ones, you'd almost have to have a degree of randomness to keep people from
