Thread: Small legal question, basically

  1. #1

    Default Small legal question, basically

    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.

    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.

    there's no I in team, but there is in pie, as in meat pie, and meat is an anogram of team

    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.

    Many thanks Christmas!

    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.

    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    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.
