Hey, I don't have any problems with others having done it before. Great! as far as I'm concerned. It's encouraging, actually. I know of another individual who is working on a similar idea. He is much further along on it, actually. So far the aim seems to be along the line of 'interactive' bulletin boards or slideshows, however. That's wonderful too, I think (and probably more profitable 🙂 but I was keep coming back to a *game*. Imagine two lines into the studio. Two people call up and 'challenge' each other. The winner stays on line, the loser hangs up. Next challenger, please 🙂 Or, in a one-person format, each caller could input their own 'code' and save/restore game settings from prior calls. That way the caller could gradually get very deep into the game. Limit the calls to 5 minutes or such? I wonder…. would watching other folk play be *boring* to others? Or would the voyerism entice folks to watch/participate? Hey, maybe I'll build an interface to VaporPaint via interactive cable? Then you could say that your program was being watched by millions (well, maybe dozens, anyway 🙂 If you have any other tidbits about the NY project, let me know, ok? Thanks.
