HEY GUYS
I've been working with a professor here at Penn State on this game, see, called Coordinate Quest. It's like a procedurally generated 2D Zelda game that you play by yourself, with other people.
The idea is that you're searching for these muffins,
and the world is too large and complex for one person to find them alone in a reasonable amount of time.
So, you have to organize a team and coordinate your search across the map. The catch is that the game provides no support for this - it's not networked; you're each playing your own copy of the game, and there's no chat function or anything. You have to build your team outside the game, using tools and networks that are already out there.
To win, someone has to e-mail me a list containing the coordinates of every muffin hidden in the game. This person and his/her teammates may receive a fabulous prize. Or maybe not, I'm still working on that. No promises.
But it should be fun anyway! The first round will be this Wednesday, February 2nd at 6:00 pm EST. If you're interested, sign up for this Facebook event:

What say you, gentlemen?
