Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

If you need any help I can give suggestions or help. I can program any language you ask and can do OOD and OOA really well.

Is this a intranet and/or internet game?

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

Update:

I recieved a reply from Hasbro today, we do NOT have permission to use the Monopoly name or and trademarks/copyrights associated with it. This means that a traditional monopoly style board will not be used and gameplay will change slightly.

We now need to figure out what we want in the game, we now get to choose how many properties we want, where they are, a sub. for chance and comm. chest cards...

I will upload a possible board design into CD Media.

also for updates, see here: http://team1591.com/firstpg/summary/summary.php? (email me at steves@newyorkfirst.org for a username and password.)
Or SF.net (both will be updated at the same time)

Monopoly has many derivitive games that are out there.

We will need to see how these derivitives got around (or aquired) the licencing needed so as to not infringe on Hasboros' trademark.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

If you dont have permission to make a game like Monopoly, then why mess around trying to make one similar? Why toy with their registered © and possibly bring grief on yourself and on FIRST

when you could start from scratch, and make a new board-game. There are many toss the dice / move a token / take a card... type of board games, so if you made a new one you would not be infringing on someone elses copywrite

I realize this takes things up a notch: instead of changing Monopoly to have a FIRST theme, you would be starting from scratch - but I think the end result will be better - a game designed to match the reality of what its like to be on a FIRST team.

(BTW, I was just reminded today of the poor ice cream vendor at a worlds fair, who ran out of dishes, "NOW what am I going to do with all this ice cream? !!!" A nearby vendor suggested making edible dishes out of his waffles - the rest is history. Sometimes when "NO!" happens, something better come out of it)

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

Ken is right,


Making a Monopoly game would probably create more legal problems than would be worth it.

If we were to create our own game from scrach we could make it more like what FIRST is about. We could use elements like building the robot, going to regionals / championship, Gracious Professionalism, Fundraising, community service, etc.

*now to figure out how to incorporate such ideas into a game )

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

It also opens up more possibilities - instead of making a one dimensional game, it could be two or three dimensional (or if played on a computer, 4 dimensional)

and you could have more pieces than the one token you use in monopoly - it could be more like chess - where you have a team of pieces.

Im going to toss out one possible format. I took a 5 day training course in project management. They had a project simulation program that ran on a laptop. We had to assign virtual people to specific tasks, give them part of the funding and resources we had at our disposal, establish a desired schedule, and project objects, then you hit the RUN button. The program then told you what happened on your project during the first week (could be first day, first 4 hours...)

it made learning project management very interesting. Some of it was amusing, for example: I forgot to give my SW engineer a computer. He got frustrated in the first week and QUIT! So I had to assign someone else to his task, adjust the schedule (buy him a nice computer...)

you could do something similar: simulate a FIRST team, their actions and progress and accomplishments throughout the season. You would be the team leader - set up everything for a given time interval, then the program would calculate the results (with some randomness tossed in) and tell you what happened - from there you go on to the next day / week / ....

if this was done well it could be an excellent tool for introducing new team members to FIRST.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

I'm digging the 3-d game idea, I have no idea how to go about making a 3-d FIRST related board game, but I'm sure its doable.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

I like the 3-d game idea.

You could upload your team logo, and your sponsor's logo and do all sorts of fun stuff.

I'm liking this idea a whole lot better

Not to be a spoiler or anything..but the First Video Game project was started a few years back and ran for a very long time. A lot of people put a lot of time into it..and where is it now? Well I haven't heard anything of it in months..

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

this isnt a video game - its a strategy / game of chance. Much easier to create.

Im thinking, is there a way to make this.... whats the right term.... an open source game?

A handfull of people could create the basic framework, but then other people could add more options / actions/ variables / responses....

for example: it might start out with two possible outcomes for attending a regional, your team wins the finals, or loses... then other people could add more options into the data base: you are a finalist, you win best seed, rookie of the year... chaimans award.... that sort of thing

?

that way getting the basic game up and running would be much faster, and over the years the game would grow and develop as more and more people add onto it.

I may have found a way around this.

Sure, it not software based but I think if we buy this and then collaborate on board designs, we could come up with some pretty interesting stuff to put on it.

Apparently this is sanctioned by Hasbro as well, so your copyright issues are no more.

what does apparently mean? that they are selling it and have not been sued yet, or that you know Hasbro has signed a release for this game?

The fact that its made by someone else, and its called "Opoly" sure looks questionable.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

Since you don't have permission to use the monopoly name doesn't mean you can't make one similar. I think the best kind of game would not be one where you go around the board once but around the board until something happens that makes people drop out ( being broke in monopoly ).
