Well.. I think it doesn't have to be a problem @all. Have a good look/search, you might see some real interesting scenarios, some with/without source, handle jumping, falling, gravitational forces and more relative stuff!

My excuse is I've just come out of my final year project where our group wrote a 3D physics engine. I therefore don't feel like touching them again for at least another few years ;)

Physics is probably the largest hurdle, those types of engines can be really hard to build! If someone were to write a library however, it may be more feasible.

You know, I'd be willing to give it a shot in exchange for advice or collaberation. You know, like design stuff, or help for problems I might have. I think I can handle the physics, but coding a game like that might be a little tough for me.

Okay, I think there are a few things that people can start working on. The trick to get something like this done is to work in small steps. First, someone can make some graphics. We shouldn't just do a straight copy of the original, but make our own. Second, someone could start work on flinging an object (the bird) of a slingshot. The physics for that are relatively simple. It might be interesting, for a start, to look at these scenarios: Marbles (for the mouse interaction) Target (for interaction and gravity throw) Someone else could start looking at stacking some objects on top of each other. For a target. Any volunteers?

I can work on the physics of the stacking objects. I have been thinking about working on a rigid body collision solver for a while, and this will be really useful ^^

@kiarocks - you're right that lunarlander would be much easier. But don't aim too low -- you'll be surprised what you can achieve if you give it a try!
