I&#8217;ve got a great idea for a future challenge if you want something to during the  January blues. OK here goes, how about we do a weekend challenge where the theme is &#8216;Finish Each Others Games&#8217;. The basic idea is that you take an existing game, it can be incomplete or complete, retrieve the source code and add your own elements\/levels\/art to it. The aim is to improve the game in any way you see fit. The end result should be a mass completion of unfinished games and vast improvement on already finished ones.<\/p>\n <p>RULES<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>You need to declare the source code you&#8217;re working from before starting so we can see the difference in the initial and finished games<\/li>\n <li>You can use your own source code from a past game if you want<\/li>\n <li>Team entries are allowed<\/li>\n <li>Many different participant\/teams can work off one source code if they want<\/li>\n <li>Once finished at the end of the week we will vote for the best game.<\/li>\n <\/ul>","time":"December 30th, 2010 9:54 am","title":"A New Challenge"}
