Well, I forgot to actually do my homework before today (and still haven’t done it. Solution: I will stay up until I’m too tired to program, then I will do my other work!). So, from this, I have two sources of inspiration from the real world: Snow and homework. Now, one of those things is fun, so I’m going to make a game about it. I noticed yesterday when I was outside that snow is pretty interesting. Namely, if you’re trying to move from point A to point B, the fact that the snow I was on was icy and tended either not to support my weight (which made me slow and annoyed) or be slippery (which made me lose my balance). Yesterday, the snow was kind of annoying, but it’s not always that way – it’s fun to slide down slopes and to build stuff in the snow, so I’m going to make sure I get stuff like that in. I’m thinking that I should make a survival-ish game (except I want to encourage movement because that’s where snow becomes important).

(And if I’m really on top of things, I think it’d be awesome to make it so that if there’s a high ledge or chasm your want to reach, you could build a slide with a jump and get to the other side)
