New Game Ideas

[ScottyBrosious]

Recently I've been working on a new game for freebasic.
It uses opengl for graphics.
Though I don't know everything about opengl in freebasic
I am still trying to develope a game.

The premise for the game is...
You control a 3D-Ball through a maze with the mouse by tilting the game board.

I don't got much right now because I've been working on the collision detection mostly.

Some of the ideas I've got for this game are...

Other balls in the maze that try to smack you around.
Holes that you fall through.
Power-up's to somehow give you energy.
Game within a skybox.
Flags that you have to reach as checkpoints.

That about all I can think of.
So I've left this post so anyone can post a reply to let me know other
things that I might be able to add to it or subtract from it.
I would like to hear some new ideas and thoughts from other people.
Feedback on what they think.

Thanks
And have a great day!

some of the ideas remind me alot of an old game i used to play alot as a kid.. you have this wooden box with 2 knobs, one to control the actual board in the y plane and one to control it on the z plane.. the board is a maze filled with holes and the objective is to get a ball to roll from start to end only by twisting the knobs.
