The first wave of ideas has arrived in my brain! Yay!

• A game based on the idea of 7 degrees of separation. Preferably something to do with killing everybody or cutting the social ties.
• Something with a very large number of very small planets.
• A game of engineering really small biospheres (or death stars… they’re sort of like planets) or life on some tiny piece of dust. Or perhaps something else regarding life (humans perhaps) in isolation.
• The internet. I don’t know how that’s a game, but it sure makes the world small. Are we allowed to write an essay in place of a game? No? Darn.
• Make the Earth less big. Blow it up.
• Survive the birth of a planet. Perhaps something of a platformer, although with no definite “up” direction and with asteroids and bigger planets constantly crashing into your planet (and perhaps your character…), making it larger. And, of couse, I’m not opposed to letting the planets blow up occasionally.

Also, I think I’ll be going with Processing. It’s nice and portable and doesn’t punish me for not knowing how to package my stuff or link with libraries.
