ARE THESE GAMES POSSIBLE TO MAKE USING JAVA SCRIPTING? HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE?!?

a) Journey to the West (The Legend of the Monkey King – Sun Wu Kong) – The game focuses entirely on a maze wherein Sun Wu Kong has to retrieve his tiara and exit the maze before the enemy finds him.

b) The Archer and the Nine False Suns – Yi the archer must shoot down the nine false suns. This game is further complex than the first for the suns are continuously appearing and reappearing. Yi is located in the left side, with a line that separates him from crossing over nearer to his targets. He can only move up and down, and shoot using his arrow.

c) The Frog Who Became the Emperor – Hok must swallow the glowing embers before the soldiers attack him on every side. He can only escape the soldiers, and are not allowed to kill them. It is a game of strategy, on how to evade approaching enemies.

d) The Wooden Horse – On board the wooden horse, the prince and princess must fly through the clouds eluding the arrows that are fired by the archers below. The prince must find his way back to the kingdom, with a given time span before his father, the Emperor, executes the carpenter who had built the wooden horse.

Thanks in advance. I just really need to know. ^_^

Yes, its possible.

I would estimate, starting from scratch with no resources or programming experience to begin with, that the four games will take perhaps 2-3 years to complete for a reasonably intelligent person with plenty of free time.

It would take two to three years?!?!


Sigh... I was supposed to program them within 6 months. for an interactive cd for my thesis...

Thanks Howard,
