Is it OK if I program Sphere Break, Tripple Triad, or some other mini-game as a project for programming class (they will not look the same, that is for sure)? (it may be posted on the school website)

Should I make some changes to the games, or/and some other stuff... ?

Eh, shouldn't be a problem. My friend programmed Puzzle Party (a minigame from Mario Party... 4, I think) and no one cared.

I was going to make a deck of triple triad cards this summer.

It never happened.

I programmed gin rummy for my pascal class years ago and I got sued by Hoyle.

My friend scanned a picture outta a book, and used it for the backround in her graphics assognment, and she had to do it again, cause one of the teachers said she couldn't take the picture from a book. She had to either do it herself or get permission to use some picture. I dunno bout software classes but.

Technically, if you aren't making a profit from it, but rather are just submitting it to demonstrated mechanics of something, it shouldn't be problematic.

Speaking of Triple Triad. I downloaded a version of it once, it was pretty fun. Anyone know where one could find it? There was also cards with people from FF6 and FF7. pretty cool game. :cool:

Why would bums buy a game for a PC? Shouldn't they buy a PC first? or, you know, a home. Or at least some booze. :cool:

Ok, thanks.

By the way, anyone here president of SE or something like that? (never hurts to be too sure, I'm going to do it (Sphere break, I think) and my teacher's OK with it.)

Sphere break is annoying. I hate Shinra. :/

To beat anyone, all you need are coins with 1, 2, 3, and 3, (or any multiple of those, like 2, 4, 6, 6, or 3, 6, 9, 9) and at least one with multiplier echo; use only these coins and always keep the same multiplier.

This way you can beat anyone. (Sphere break should be easy to program with Java)
