Re: [Audyssey] games we'd like to play: musical chairs
Hmmm as I understand it, if you were the last one on a chair you were out that is if you were last one to sit. every round the chairs were reduced till only 1 was left, or in some cases none, that last person won the entire game. However I never enjoyed it really that much. As a computer game, I am really not sure how you would make it really that good. It would be simple and rubbishy to see the best. some sort off randomised timer maybe, for the music, and then you would hit left arrow or right try to get a chair in say 10 seconds or something, every round a chair could go and you would have less time till everything stopped. However beyond that point I don't know what the replay value would be. It'd be a good oncer but then I would probably delete it.

Re: [Audyssey] games we'd like to play: musical chairs
Hi, Yeah, I think an audio game based on Musical Chairs would be pretty lame all things considered. I don't consider Musical Chairs all that fun to begin with when actually playing it at a party etc, and it would be even less fun as a computer game because there wouldn't be much to do besides listen to the music and press a key to sit down as quick as possible when the music stops. Its just one of those games better played in person than it would be on a computer. As it so happens I can think of a number of party games that could be adapted into audio games that would be a lot more fun and have more replay value than Musical Chairs. There is always the old classic Pin the Tail on the Donkey which requires the player to be blind folded and would be well suited for an audio game. A simple game like darts could be fun because you would attempt to throw a dart into the center of the target. There are other party games like horse shoes, ring toss, etc which could easily be made into audio games that would be more fun and interesting.

[Audyssey] games we'd like to play: musical chairs
Hi all Here is a new game concept for those of you who are studying bgt or another game programming language. First a bit of background. When I was a kid, I loved to play a game with my friends called musical chairs when we have a party. Musical chairs is a typical party game.

When the music stops, the person that is not seated on a chair is the loser. I'm not sure what the rule then is: If that person should not play in the next round. I played musical chairs years ago.

Re: [Audyssey] games we'd like to play: musical chairs
Hi Nicol, The object of Musical Chairs is to eliminate all but one of the players. Therefore if you started out with eight players, as in your example, by the end of the game there should only be one player seated. The other seven players will be eliminated in successive rounds until only one is remaining. For example, let's say you have eight players but seven chairs. When the music stops seven people will sit down and the eighth will remain standing. That player will be eliminated from the game. In the next round there will be seven players but six chairs. Again, when the music stops six players will sit down and one will remain standing. The one who is standing will obviously be eliminated. The game goes on until there is only one, and only one player sitting down. As for your game idea it wouldn't work. For one reason in Musical Chairs everyone lines up in a row and goes around in a circle until the music stops at which point they sit down on the nearest available chair. You aren't allowed to get out of line, move left or right, or back up. So all your commands to move left, right, forward and backward would be cheating. the only way the game could work is having a key like space to start and stop your character from moving, and a key to sit/stand. Beyond that you are adding stuff to the game that does not belong.
