Based on our recent discussions I'm thinking about doing a Harry Potter
game, either a text adventure (a small one to start out) or Virtual
Quidditch. I'm just not sure which is more feasible. The big problem
I see with a Quidditch game is that I see no logical way of doing it
without have 14 literal players participating because I can't figure how
to simulate the actions of the players, especially the Seekers. How would
one get the computer to "look" for the Snitch in a simulated environment?
Any thoughts?
