Would anyone here be interested in monthly game challenges on this site?
Like such things as "Make a SHMUP" and have certain things that have to be added in the game, such as scrolling terrain or radar maps/etc.
I know that this isn't a very great example...but at least you get the point.

One thing I noticed about such challenges is that more new members get encouraged to start learning harder/more, more new (and old) members get involved with the community (FK), and that great games come out of these competitions.

(if you want a site that has such competitions, you could look at www.gamedev.net)

So, do you fellow Flashers agree? Should we have such challenges on this site?
