anyone up for a challenge? well... not much of a challenge

I would like to challenge anyone with some time to whip up a simple mini-game this weekend, lets see what we can all create in a couple of days. Can i win anything? No. Is this a competition? No. what is the point? To have fun. Anyone up for the challenge?

The example game I just finished took 2 weeks, at about 2 hours a day...roughly 20 hours of work, total.

Banana Nana was also done in 3 days, but they had 2 people working on it.

I don't think I have the time.

I couldn't possibly come up with anything minimally interesting in a weekend, considering I'd probably only have about 4 hours total for NesDev'ing...

I'm working on something much larger that I'm trying to not have take the rest of my summer.

Bad weekend for me.

Going to attempt a 1k game or two for this. Of course it/they are usually rehashes of other smaller games that already exist on other platforms, but hey. Those are perfectly suited for this kind of quick challenge : D

I'm feeling awfully tempted to try to come up with something...

What about 5 hours?
That's how long it took me to program this entire Bubble Bubble clone, in one sitting!

50 puzzle-oriented levels, 8 enemies (4 palette/logic variations), ending on a final boss, simple sound effects, but no music. This game was intended to be put on cartridges, last October.

This challenge is tempting, but I'm writing a (rather thorough) tutorial, at the moment.

I would participate if I hadn't been given two other projects to work on: fixing a bug that I can't reliably reproduce and that doesn't occur in emulators in the Zapper reading code of an NES game written in mostly uncommented C that runs the entire game logic out of a single 940-line function and whose maintainers haven't given me any real-time contact details, and a 4 Mbit beat-em-up platformer that has just entered the final month before going gold.

Daaaaaaamn! Now that's pretty awesome.

Here's what I came up with for the 1k Series today. It's a Tron cycle style game. I made one as a bonus game on another cart I released, but really wanted to try a 1k version sometime, as I felt like I could do it. I pulled it off, but it's 2-player only. I attempted AI with it, but there just wasn't enough room to have AI or 2-player. And with 2-player, a lot of code got looped with an offset, so it just made more sense. Ask some people in #nesdev how bad the simple AI I had was hahaha It was horrible.

But anywho, here it is. I didn't go through and optimize it as much as I usually do, but will sometime for sure.

i sadly didnt find much time over the weekend (wife was out of town and I have two kids). In the hour and a half that I spent working on my game, i got fairly far and how to finish it up tonight.

Aw, missed it.
If this kind of thing was announced with some preparation time, I'm sure there would be some people giving it a shot. Weekend games are a fun exercise.
