FLASH: Doodle Bug Challenge

[Ronnie Sampson]

Flashers,


No, it's not a new virus. I was just thinking about a game my brother 

and I used to play as kids. We called it Doodle Bug and the idea is 

that one draws a scribble and describes an image and the other has to 

take that scribble and, without altering it much, turn it into the 

described image.


I've used the game in drawing classes that I've taught, and I thought 

it'd be fun to try it as a sort of Flash challenge. So if anyone's up 

for it, I'd like to try to do one each week for the next several 

weeks. If you could send me an FLA file with a line scribble and a 

description of what it should be, I'll choose one each week and 

create a short Flash animation out of it. Then I'll post that 

animation to my website along with my thanks to the scribbler.


There's nothing more to it than that, really. Just seemed like a fun 

idea (for me). The only rules (restrictions) are that the scribble 

must be a single color. I can change the scale of the doodle to fit 

the format. Currently, I'm thinking about 350 x 300 for the animation 

size. I must use the whole doodle in the final piece. I won't 

entertain ideas that I consider crude or offensive. And again, this 

is all for fun. There are no prizes or rewards.


So if you're interested, please do not use the reply address to send 

your doodles. Instead, send them to me at

ViridianRSnetscape [dot] net

. 

I'll be happy to send doodles to anyone else interested in joining 

in. Looking forward to hearing from you. Offer ends soon. Not 

available in other listserves.
