There is a windows game called Qbz (http://takegame.com/arcade/pictures/qbz.gif).
How easy do you think it would be to port it to psp?
I mean, it's simple enough, except, i have no idea how to code.

so, if anyone would be willing to team with me (i'll do GFx), it shouldn't be too hard.

The object of the game is to match as many colors as you possibly can to end with no more little cubes.
anyone interested?

**hallo007** · 05-27-2007, 01:05 PM

1) you have a ) at the end of your link

2) is it open source?

**amrcidiot** · 05-27-2007, 01:14 PM

Fixed.
I don't think so, I think you actually have pay for it

but the general concept isn't so hard.
and of course, things would have to be changed around so there's no trouble with the law.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 01:18 PM

Looks like a fun game, The concept wouldn't be too hard to copy.

**hallo007** · 05-27-2007, 01:19 PM

but if you need to pay for it , it will be copyrighted

**amrcidiot** · 05-27-2007, 01:20 PM

If I could get a team together, that would be great.

anyone wanna code?

Read the post above yours, It may be copyrighted.

**amrcidiot** · 05-27-2007, 01:21 PM

well, we'd change things around, the same concept would be copied, not the hole thing.

just like, click the block, make the group of colors dissappear.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 01:23 PM

lumines is copyrighted but they still made a homebrew clone.

**Raphael** · 05-28-2007, 12:53 PM

Copyright is not implicated by stating to have it, but rather by being the actual original creator of something (and being able to supply evidence). Also, you cannot copyright trivial things such as a game concept or similar.

**BlackShark** · 05-28-2007, 02:04 PM

exactly, look at Tetris, the inventor of the game actually copy righted it so you can't make any game with falling blocks have the name with syllables 'Tris' in it, but obviously theres ways around that, and so have led to many Tetris clones.

I might be interested, (what language do you want it coded in? does it matter?) also, Requests are not allowed, for future reference

They copyrighted the name. Not the design or idea.

**flatmush** · 05-28-2007, 02:55 PM

I talked to him before on IRC and he was attempting to install the toolchain, so I assume he's going to take a crack at this himself, but I'm not certain.

P.S: How did I get frontpaged for FlatEdit and still not get developer status

.

**Ninjax1** · 05-28-2007, 02:56 PM

Your not allowed to request.

**amrcidiot** · 05-29-2007, 11:31 AM

this isn't a request, it's asking anyone if they would like to help me....
i'm going to do graphic, and not code (toolchain isn't installed, need to find a tutorial for linux).
so, maybe c++, so i can learn too, because i want to learn how.
