Summary: Pillow Fight

Okay, to make it easier to understand, I'm going to recap the pillow fight game in simple words.

Method of playing:

Hit the mouse on your opponent's chest with a pillow to score points.

Goal:

There are 2 ways to play this game:

1. To score the most points within a given time frame.

OR

2. To land the 'killing blow' on the opponent.

Game mechanics

If we're playing the first method:

The wireless mouse is hooked up to a flash program on a laptop. The flash program has buttons that add to your score when clicked. Every time you hit the mouse, it clicks, and the hit tally goes up.

If we're playing the second method:

I will create a virtual character on flash that will 'die' in x amount of hits. When the character has one last hit left before it dies, it will scream/make a loud noise, which will let the players know it is time to land the killing blow to win the game.

For both methods:

I can try to program the flash program to play a funny sound each time the mouse is clicked (i.e. whenever the player is hit.) This is purely to add to the fun atmosphere of the game, and need not be explained to the players.

For a more elaborate explanation, check out the previous post below.

If there are any more questions, please let me know and we can work it out together. :) The two methods of playing the game are what I've come up with so far, but we can still think of more ideas and make the game better/simpler/fun-ner.
