This is the first post of many about my new game - "A Windows Simulator"
I really hope you check up on this, because it will be an awesome game.
In addition to this being a preview of my game, this is also a place to post ideas that you're too lazy to animate/code yourself. I would also appreciate it if you could email me some small animations to put in the fake Newgrounds. PM me and I'll give you my email adress. I'll credit you both during the flash and in the author comments, so don't worry.
Features will include:
- Over 20 fake websites to browse, including 'toons + audio on NG
- Realistic 'Vista' look
- Working Start Menu
- Chat (explained below)
- Paint Clone (explained below)
- Addictive, simple games (explained below)
- I will try to make an animation program, and I'm learning to save bitmaps to do so!
- Newgrounds! (explained below)
- Runescape (I know it's a terrible game, but my parody will be better!)
- Blackjack
- Online Black Market
- Bomb control (blow up the White House wing by wing!)
- Errors!
- Homework helper (explained below)
- Much more!
Chat System
The chat system will use a custom Pandora Bot that will interact with you and remember things about you. Be nice, or he may not talk! He can also give you the secret RuneScape Password, and trust me, it's awesome.
Paint Clone
The MS Paint clone, called Stain in my parody, is going to be fully functional. I will use my growing knowledge of saving bitmaps to allow you to access things you've saved. There will be an almost full range of RGB colors, plus many brush shapes and sizes.
Games
The games will range from simple things like Pong and Breakout! to Target Practice and The Legend of Zel-DUH. You might even come back just for the games!
Newgrounds
The Newgrounds engine could be a whole flash in itself. There will be many different animations, and depending on the time of day (determined by your computer's clock), you'll have different choices. The audio will be the best of the best off NG, and you can play it in the BG while you're playing ZelDUH or something. But, I really need people to send small cartoons for me to use in the game. They don't have to be super-good, but I won't be able to come up with many ideas. The image at the bottom of the post is a picture of my current progress making the NG front page.
Homework Helper
The homework helper comes complete with a calculator, graph, conversion calculator, and plotting system. The graph will be fairly large, and you can set the scale to 1x1, 2x2, 5x5, or 10x10. The plotting system will be fully coded with 20 or so dots that you can move around, or insert x and y values for them.
Thanks for reading this terribly long post, and I hope you look out for my game!
UPDATE: Comment as much as possible because I'm trying to get 100 comments before my friend (I won't tell you his name or you may betray me!)
UPDATE: 100 comments as of 6:56 tonight!

Archawn (Updated )
Thanks! It will take a while, but I expect it to come out sometime before the end of '08. Be sure to watch out for other updates on it as well!
