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.
