Easter Bunny (or other holiday) versions of 15-min Santa Game? #1030

Open dingaaling opened 1 year ago

Goal: Adapting 15-min Santa game to an Easter Bunny version

Target users: AI UK attendees & Nick M's kids 😄

Needs: art/design, development support

Ideas brainstormed with @dabreegster:

Switch Santa with Easter Bunny
2 player game: one is focused on dropping eggs and the other on finding eggs?
Adapt to other cities across the UK and worldwide

431 related. Multi-objective functions could be interesting, or constraining the delivery recipients. Based on health survey data, need to refuel from hospitals and deliver to places with statistically more people needing medicine delivered?

Or make Santa/the bunny have several meters to maintain -- if something jumps out and attacks the player, they have to visit a hospital.

Multiplayer mode: maybe the opponent is a NIMBY destroying supply depots or setting up roadblocks or traps.

Or use it as a chance to showcase more Turing datasets. Maybe Colouring Cities is collecting something that'd be interesting to incorporate in a game

@nickmalleson Apparently there's appetite to extend this game eventually. If y'all come up with any ideas while playing, let us know!

Depending how much time and who's working on this, it could also be interesting to try porting the game to Godot or Unity or something. That was an idea originally. Writing Santa with widgetry was a bit of an experiment to see how far we could abuse that library
