Title: Wanted input on an idea
Post by: Vel on June 07, 2012, 02:24:06 AM
Wasn't sure if this fits here but it fits less in the other categories.

I was thinking it would be nice to have a fighting tournament with something like Marvel V.S. Capcom or Soul Calibur where the contestants would all put in some Bitcoins to enter, and the winner takes the pot. Would work just as well with CoD or Halo.

Any interest, or ideas on how to make this work?

We had a very similar idea in litecoin-dev with the age-old Atari combat game. But it's hard to get a working development team together.

Core War! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War

I also remember a tank game where you each had a tank and you had to write the code to run it autonomously.

These speak to the geek in me.

Well, the idea was to create something, where the average litecoin owner could spend his coins. Not just geeks.

Imagine a network version of this:

I already wrote some html 5 code to move the tank and load the playfield from a text file. But I have to wait for the tank images now.
