HI all For those of you who are looking for a new game idea, especially now that bgt is freeware, there is a game I would very much like to play. Its called circus charlie. It might be a nintendo game; I'm not sure. I played this game as a kid on a small console connected to a television set with the help of my sighted friends. I no longer have this console. My mom gave it away accidentally and I can no longer find such a console in south african shops. I doubt if the original game was a side scroller but I think for bgt the easiest way to code it might be to make it a side scroller. The game had 5 stages. In stage1 the player is standing on the back of a lion and must jump across fiery pots and fiery rings. In stage2 the player is running on a rope high in the air. The player must jump across monkeys walking on the rope. The monkeys will try their best to knock the player off the rope, especially an occasional big blue monkey. In stage3 the player have to jump from ball to ball. AS far as I can remember, these are huge balls. They are like gymnastic balls and they are colored. The color does not affect game play . its simply eye candy. The ball on which the player stands is rolling quickly and then the player must make it onto the next ball before the ball on which the player stands rolls from underneath him and knocks him to the ground. In stage4 the player is standing on the back of a donkey and must jump onto a trampoline as soon as the donkey passes the trampoline. Once on the trampoline the player must then again jump back onto the donkey's back once the donkey passes the trampoline. When the player doesn't make it onto the trampoline in time the donkey will throw the player off his back. If the player does not jump onto the donkey's back in time the trampoline will throw the player onto the ground. Then the pattern repeats until the end of the stage. In stage5 the player is on a high swing like a trapeze. IN circus charlie this swing goes up and down like a normal swing. Then the player have to jump onto a trampoline as soon as the trampoline is right underneeth the swing. Else the swing will throw the player onto the ground. Once on the trampoline the player have to jump back onto the swing else the trampoline might throw the player to the ground. I'm not sure how easy this would be to code with bgt. What concerns sounds, I think the sounds of donkeys and a fire sound for the pots and rings would hopefully not be too difficult to get from the web. Also it would hopefully be easy to get monkey sounds from the web for stage2. For the balls in stage3 the best sound would be a sound similar to the rolling ball sound in ten pin alley. This too hopefully shouldn't be too difficult to find on the web. And I think a sound for the donkey would hopefully be quite easy to get from the web too. And for the trampolines and swing screeching sounds would fit. I think circus charlie would fit into the arcade category. The player does not always run to the right. Sometimes the player have to run to the left. AS far as I can remember, from playing circus charlie with sighted friends years ago, the player runs a bit to the right, jump across objects and then runs a bit to the left and again jump and so on.
