In case anybody wonders, what some of the newcomers have been making, I bring my testimony:

Day 1 (night): The theme shocks me down! I couldn’t put something original on paper. So sad ‘cos I was too motivated.

Day 2 (moning): Spend the day doing some research, but nothing comes; so I went to the movies and buy groceries.

Day 2 (night): I got a cuple of ideas, so I discuss them with random people. End the day making graphics and loading in the code. Oh! before that I doubth of the legality of my graphic sources, so I redraw the sprites by my own.

Day 3 (morning)(now): Im not totaly convinced by the design, but I prefer get it done, than throw it away!

I’ll post actual advances, so stay tuned! Meanwhile, there is the mockup:

the great monk mockup

Don’t give up!
