It occurs to me that this could be a first step towards that 'competitive' mutator we were discussing. I don't know where you intend to go with this ("new arena"? Huh?) but it could radically change the gameplay if applied to all game-types. I can't wait!
qreeves {l Wrote}:Please do not use a red + (aka "Red Cross" mark), it is trademarked and protected.
Possibly, but it is so widely-used across games, works of art and real life that the trademark is as flaky as the trademark for the word "hoover" times a hundred. If challenged in court, it would almost certainly be declared void.
The real problem is that it's not universal; in Muslim countries for instance, it's a red crescent. It wouldn't be apparent to a person from one such place that a red or green cross would be a health pickup.
I don't have neither the artistic nor the technical skill to actually do this, just chiming in with some thoughts if you don't mind.
You just wasted 3 seconds of your life reading this.
