I like the Lasertank II idea. About the levels, I think we should
have some sort of a poll which could be placed on the main website,
asking LT fans to submit what they think are the best and hardest
levels. From there we can determine which levels would be
implemented into the game, with each level having a completely
different theme.
I hope to learn the C programming language sometime later this year,
as I would have much use of it with other projects of mine.
Also:
The LTG could be completely reorganized. I agree with Gerry W that
one size for an LTG is not good enough. There could be 3 game/mask
bitmaps for the three possible sizes, extra decorative tiles to make
the gameboard look nice, and, of course, more animation frames. A
fullscreen mode would be even better. As for my LTG, I will probably
release it later this month, if I don't get too much homework in
school... :)
