Seminar Project for Computer Science

So I decided to postpone my seminar project till Fall 2011 so... 

I was thinking of making just a lil miniature game engine that uses


  1. The simplest graphics system I can create (will only use it to showcase the timed combat system using maybe 10 different animations, very basic low res graphics.)

  2. Has a timed combat system - as in actions are set to be parsed every second (not including movement) so that animations can be synchronized and look realistic (and that it will still be in sync even during multiplayer)

  3. A basic inventory/item system

  4. Multithreaded

Ive already listed out the problems for it in which Im going to work on such as including movement in the parsing but it would end up making it way too slow paced.  Or I could just make something like melee animations being fast


 


For anyone who took computer science would this be a decent project?  This term my project is a MUD that uses the above system for the combat (movement not included) it works with multiplayer and is open enough so that I can easilly add stuff to it and that I should be able to use it without much problems for the engine.


 


Would this be ok? Or should I change my topic?  Does anyone have any ideas on what I should make as my seminar project if this one is a no-no?

    What college are you holding this seminar?

    I've done seminars in the past, I had no idea how easy it was to postpone it later or so. Places tend to get angry when you postpone seminars at an unforseeable event in the future!

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    Have you ever worked on this type of project in the past? 

    If you haven't, then you're in for ALOT of work. Even for a simple game. If you want to make it 3D, I highly suggest not trying to do it yourself unless you're just really into that sort of stuff. There are good reasons why most games don't have their own graphics engines and those that do, license their graphics/game engines out to other companies or reuse it many times internally. 

    Personally, for my Senior project, I'm going to be working on an Android Game. Very basic 2D turn based multiplayer game.

    I don't think he's using the right words.

    Got a Game Idea? Look Here!

    Well umm... They called it seminar project >_< but yah imon my senior year!



    ive dont these kinds of projects before but not really the sync'd combat and an umm... Yah not in 3d! Im slightly good at 2d so i thought now would be a good time to jump into 3d :O



    The most time consuming parts are going to e with the graphics engine and physics engine though im sure>_<


    and your android idea is great! O.o maybe i should try studying iphone programming to see how it is n maybr make it for that hmm o.o



    i just want a project that would make them go "oh its not a n00b!" (T_T)
