FIRST video game the name...

SO, we need a name for this video game thing. What do you think? Just throw some ideas out there. There will be a poll later. :slight_smile:

it shoulod be whatever the game name that will be played, like stack attack…

We need a name for SourceForge. In terms of coding, a specific game is just an instance of it. We will be able to very rapidly add a new game.

[What Bcahn836 said!]

But if you intend to make a video game for each new game that comes out the title should have a common name. The game title should included in the title but also something else to know the game by.

stack attack: reloaded
stack attack: the next generation
stack attack: insert team name (for whoever is putting all of their time and effort into making this, ex. stack attack: Digital Fusion)
stack attack: underground (just cuz N4SU was such an awesome game)
stack attack: the chronicle
stack attack: evolution

I just used last years game as a model, obviously you would replace it for w/e game its based on.
keep in mind, i was thinking of these as i was writing this post. I hope you like some of them. I thought i would get this thread going with some other peoples ideas on game names.

Enjoy :smiley:

Legend of Mangia: Four Wrenches Adventures. ::cough::

FRC: Stack Attack
FRC: First Frenzy
and so on

I think there is a misconception of what we are looking for. We want an Umbrella name for every game we do with this program. as in:
FIRST Video Game (FIRST Frenzy)
FIRST Video Game (Stack Attack)
FIRST Video Game (Toroid Terror)

[Let’s face it: ‘FIRST Video Game’ is lame and long]

how about…
FIRST Chronicles (FIRST Frenzy)
FIRST chronicles (Stack Attack)
FIRST chronicles (Toroid Terror)
and so on…

Hmm… I’m throwing this out there, but I proposed the name of “BotMatch” back in my post brainstorming ideas for the game (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=270348&postcount=32). As I said, it’s just an idea. I think BotMatch has a nice ring to it as well… if one of the goals of the video game is to promote FIRST, you’d need a flashy and catchy name; I believe that the general root of “BotMatch” (with additions regarding the name of the game, i.e. BotMatch: FIRST Frenzy) fits those standards. :slight_smile:

what ever the name may be i think it should deffinitely have FIRST in the name. otherwise players might not catch that it’s coming directly for what FIRST does

“THE FIRST PROJECT”

Would that be your first project? because it’s new? Or are you making a project about FIRST, hmm…

How 'bout

“FIRSTOlympics”,

…just like the symbols

Eric

i like these. very simple and logical. they sound like a video game title to me…

GTA:Manchester

ok. So far we have:

  • FRC

  • FIRST Video Game

  • FIRST Chronicles

  • BotMatch

  • THE FIRST PROJECT

  • FIRSTOlympics

  • GTA (Explaination please?)

  • FIRST Robotics

  • FIRST Challenge

  • FRC Challenge

  • FIRST World Champion Robotics

  • The FIRST Adventure

  • FIRST Robot Challenge

  • Who’s on FIRST?

Anything else?

maybe GTR!?! but… no… hhmmm…

<think> “FIRST Robotics - name of the Game for the year” or “FIRST(or FRC) Challenge year - *name of the Game” </think>

i’ve already said all those but no one sees it as a good idea… :o

Not personal. We’re just thinking that a more general name which applies to all the years would be better, as we are planning on eventually gettting them all running (in the same program, via, uh, “game files” for lack of a better name :)).

I believe it’s a spoof of Grand Theft Auto. Since FIRST is located in Manchester, GTA: Manchester.
I would not reccomend this name. There are too many negative connotations that go along with it.
