For that to work
overhanging cars would have to snap in half and half of it drop, but thats still not a problem. Just count in half cars... maybe 5 or more half cars will disappear.

So its really quite doable.
I can't do flash, but if i was going to program it in C, you'd just need to write a basic columns game, but drop cars that are two "grid elements" in size, but all the same colour. Just an idea.

Thats both halves of the car
would be the same colour, obviously. A columns game where all the parts are the same colour would be just as easy as the original tetris idea.

We haven't had any of his archive links for a while now... :(

I would
but I can't do flash, and I don't code for windows or mac(1), somewhat limiting my audience. I could do it in blitz basic for windows, but i don't have the full version, so to play it you'd need Blitz Basic, too.

(1)Thats don't, not can't, btw. I hate programming for windows, even though i've had to do it many times in the course of my work, and I don't do macs.

I can't fo Flash either,
Lets ask Menub, he seems to be the board Flash whore.

perhaps
you could make the cars be bad hack jobs made form odds and ends of other cars, that are half painted with and fall apart in the middle anyway, a la Dr. Mario.
( Or is it?, Mon 16 Dec 2002, 14:53, archived)

Yes
Dr. Mario is essentially what i'm getting at, but with underwater cars. I'm not sure the cars should be cut and shuts from the very beginning, though...

or beehive bedlam
matching the colours of the cars like?
( mnb098mnb used to be here, Mon 16 Dec 2002, 14:55, archived)

well
how about start with whole cars, then move to crappier ones. they could even eventually start falling apart on their own... like real cars do.
( Or is it?, Mon 16 Dec 2002, 14:57, archived)

We demand you do it
in Flash, if you want, now I'm all settled, I could design the cars for you, all pixelly like.
Just let me know what you need and stuff.
( bovine www.richardtingley.co.uk, visit or I kill you, Mon 16 Dec 2002, 14:58, archived)

I'd love to but my Flash
skills are poor to say the least.
I can't make games, not yet anyway!
( mnb098mnb used to be here, Mon 16 Dec 2002, 15:00, archived)

No
I think Dr. Mario is the perfect model for this game. You could have the stricken boat at the top as well, haemorraging cars at an increasing rate.

Good god man
I don't know... but if someone doesn't do it, i might just explode and cover the room with my innards.

If only all you people had Amiga's, it would probably only take me an afternoon of tinkering.

SEUCK
doesn't quite provide the tools required to do a Dr. Mario clone i'm afraid :)

FACT TIME: SEUCK was one of the very few programs to actually be better on the C64 than on the Amiga.
