one simple project I was thinking of making was a 'fast travel

simulator' -- you have to solve little puzzles or something in order to

fast travel between locations/planets, and the object of the game is to

move between the worlds with funny markov generated names

The name of the places would have scrabble scores in order to determine

how many points it costs in order to travel there, and a really fun

feature I think would be good in the game is that you are locked out of

control of the game when you are in the process of fast travelling.

Nothing would actually be loading, or perhaps control would be handed

over to SETI\@home or folding\@home, (probably not), but /that/ would be

the simulation of fast travelling hahahha

The project could be broken down into some component parts:

- Markov location name generator which determines the cost of the

travelling

- a small suite of little puzzles which would be nice and twitchy and

really casual

- some cool terminal graphics for the time you spend waiting to arrive

at the next location

- (optional) different sets of scripts depending on whether you wanted

to travel through space or maybe a fantasy world

- (optional) a map of the routes and nodes you have travelled and have

the potential to travel to

- (optional) the location nodes could have a message board, and the

game could run online, so you can say 'Blorp Jr. Has been here!'
