Platform game idea

[rudy85]

I don't know anithing in coding and I've no time to help for graphism but I had an idea for a game ,I've never seen something like that :

The game could be a platform one which 2 (or more) players could challenge themself.
The first with a pad will controling an hero , the other with a mouse will place bonus and ennemies with the mouse (in a limited area).
This game will be played in the same time by the players , and the scrolling is automatic.
After they will change role and compare scores

Sort of like Transformice? Except that you can place enemies, of course. I'd love to see something like that done with open source software

Yeah transformice is an awesome game concept, especially since it also acts as a nice sociology experiment if played with a lot of players

Here is a cool youtube vid of it btw:

Edit: It would be sooo cool if someone would do a FOSS version with a 3D engine and f.e. Bullet physics (still in 2D view though). I would for sure try to contribute to that with models I would do it with lemmings or so as the creatures however... makes it more epic! Hmm maybe with Syntensity as a showcase for Bullet integration and the 2D platformer code?
The problem is only that this game really lives from many players... and that could be difficult both from the engine standpoint as well as getting a playerbase

Edit2: Hmm or maybe to speed up development, with Yo Frankie characters http://www.yofrankie.org/gallery/ ? I think the sheep etc could be rather cool "mice" characters and the horned thing could be the shaman As I said, if some code would make such a game with Syntensity, I would be more than willing to help getting these modes into the game (and add necessary stuff). Most of the other Yo Frankie artwork could be used too.
What is the status of the Bullet integration into syntensity?
