As we get closer to October, it's time to start thinking about what kind of program you're going to write. Having a case of programmer's-block? Let's brainstorm! Are you considering:

• A rewrite of an existing CHIP-8 game, adding features and flourishes?
• A "demake" of a newer game, boiling it down to its essence to cram it into CHIP-8's creative constraints?
• An adaptation of an "analog" game- a sport, a board game, a card game, or something from an escape room?
• A demo, focusing on technical virtuosity, visuals, and audio instead of gameplay?
• Something "useful", like a calculator, a simulation, or an educational program?
• A narrative experience, perhaps inspired by a favorite work of literature, music, or film?

...or something else entirely?

I like demakes and adaptations, so that's what most of my (not very creative) ideas are so far. I hope to make an XO-CHIP game, which I haven't done so far.

I guess I've already made a "demake" of my game from last year :P

My "demake" of 3D Viper Maze can run on the original VIP CHIP-8 interpreter as a watered down infinite-random-mazes game. I've called this version 3D VIP'r Maze ^_^

I really don't know what to make for this year's Octojam though... I had a few ideas but those are all quite ambitious. And I have a lot less spare time this October than I had last year :/
