[Tux4kids-discuss] Doubts and Ideas about the project

[Amit Jain]

Hi developers

My name is Amit Jain and I am currently a second year undergraduate student
of CSE at  Indian Institute of Technology, Jodhpur (IIT Jodhpur). I want to
participate in GSoC'15 and the project I am aiming for is TUX MIND
EXERCISE.I have been following tux4kids for the last few weeks.I had look
on tux paint as well as tux maths.I have worked with C, C++,python ,Java
and also used game engine(unity,construct 2,sdl).I have a  great passion
for game development.I had secured 4th position(college) in game
development in microsoft code.fun.do .I am deliberately looking forward for
this project as I love  game development from the school time.
I had made a snake game in *c* in my school final project have a look (
https://github.com/amitj975/a-simple-snake-game-in-c).

I had some doubts and some ideas related to the project:-

*SOME TENTATIVE GAME IDEAS:-*
*Attention-*
1.In this game colors name will be splash on the screen in different color
like "GREEN".So Kid have to press button of  green color NOT RED(in which
color name was written) .
So basically you have to pay attention on what is written Not on in which
color it was written.

2. In this game there will *two road* per game in which obstacle will come
randomly ,So user had to press '1' to alter the road. In next stage there
will two game on the same screen now kid has to press '1' for first game
and '2' for second game for altering the road of respective game.No. of
game will increase with the stage.
So basically you have to pay attention on multiple game at same time
dynamically.

*Memory-*
1. In this there will be a circular lock consist of concentric circular
ring will be divided in four part on that a number will written which will
be displayed for some time after that you have to arrange the ring number
in proper order as shown by inner most sector.
So basically you have to memories the number on each ring sector then you
have to arrange it accordingly.

2.In this 4*4 matrix tiles will be there, As kid click on any tile picture
of animal will appear then kid have to find pic of same animal under
another tile.If two open tile doesn't have same picture some score will
deducted.
So basically you have to remember what was the animal under the tile on
each time you open it ,so that when you click on same animal another time
you can click on the previous remembered tile.

*Reasoning-*
 1. The famous rat cheese game in child comics with some twist's.In that
there is a mesh of path in which many of that lead to dead end and only one
way to lead to cheese.Now in 2nd stage only 3/4 of path will be visible now
as you move further path will be visible to you in a circle with center at
rat .
So basically you have to find the path which lead to cheese.

2.In this,Small maths problem will be given and at the bottom of the screen
four option will be there from kid had to click on write answer.There will
be a clock counting 10 to 0.As the kid click on right answer points will be
given according to clock at that time.
So basically you have to strong command over math operation for quick reply.

3.Momentum game (*i am working on it from last few day*) in this game kid
has to move a ball by using arrow key to strike another ball without
touching the wall. Now the twist in the game is as you press left arrow key
the ball start accelerating in left and now when you push right arrow key
the ball acceleration will change but still it's speed will have the same
direction (which will reduce over the time) and then it start moving in
right direction (like pendulum) .So it became quiet interesting to control
the ball in four direction.I am building that in unity game engine(*please
tell me it is allowed or not*).

*Speed-*
1. A normal car game of three roads on which various gift and obstacle will
come and kid have to take gifts and prevent obstacles.The frequency of
obstacles will increase with time.A *Similar game* i am working on it, Have
a look on (https://github.com/amitj975/gifts-and-obstacles)  in java .
So basically you should have awesome reflexive action to deal with the fast
moving obstacles.

2.In this a picture of bird will be there in the middle on which rocket
will come from a direction(+ve x-axis) kid has to click on rocket to
destroy the rocket. In second level  rocket will come from both the
direction(+ve and -ve x-axis) as level increases rocket will start coming
from y-axis as well.
So basically you have to be fast enough to destroy the rocket coming
multiple directions.

This are my basic tentative idea we could make some more twist according to
our needs.And I am expecting that i could think of some more easy and
interesting game till my proposal.If you find some game which is not up to
the mark please let me know.

*Doubts:-*
1. As written on idea's page that application should be cross platform,for
that C*an i use any GAME ENGINE*,because it won't easy to create these
number of  game with multiple stage on every platform in that period of
time.please reply as soon as possible so that i could prepare my action of
plan according to that.


Please tell me whether I am on right track or not. If organisation have
some game ideas or having some restriction on built platform or on
language.please tell me as soon as possible, I would be highly obliged.Kindly
provide me some suggestions and guide me through this.
