October plays it by the NUMBERS
October 1st, 2009
A new month, means a new theme and while it’s hard to top something as perplexing as “Failure”, this month’s theme should result in some interesting games I’m sure.
Numbers in games typically lurk in the background – hiding in code (or in many cases, script), rarely showing themselves except to pop up as a piece of UI. Other than Brain Training, Sudoku, and Mine Sweeper there really aren’t too may number games out there.
So what do you guys think? Anyone up for NUMBERS this month?
We're a group of indie game developers, running a friendly competition every month. The rules: Make a game based on the month's theme, and don't spend more than 7 days. New games posted at the end of every month.

Hey everyone,
I admire all of the work everybody here does. I am a novice programmer looking to get into game development. I took a stab at learning SDL seriously for the first time, and I wanted to share my creation.
It’s unpolished, but I’m hoping to finish a few things before the end of the month.
Stacked: A numbers game.
http://code.google.com/p/stackednumbergame/
The objective is to stack blocks which will add up to the bottom number. As long as any blocks in a colum that are touching add up to it, they will disappear and the number will be replaced. You lose when A block spawns at the top and cannot move anywhere.
Anyway, have fun, and happy deving :) Cant wait to see next months theme.

I’m seriously amazed by what creativity can come out of one-week products. Am a 13-year old math and science lover, and probably will create games as a side hobby. =)
The thing is, I don’t know where to start. :(

Unity just went free and it was my introduction to programming. I have been using it for about a year now and I am trying to make the leap to XNA.
http://www.unity3d.com I recommend it for anyone who seriously wants to learn. It does require some effort.
I used the tutorials at http://www.learnmesilly.com and found them to be incredibly helpful.

Hello every one, this month was a long month with a lot of work. But I still find some time to make a game for this month theme.

That is my first game using flash, that was an interesting experience, it took me 5 days I think.
The game is pretty simple, you are the guy on the left, you need to find the answer to the left-side equation in other to hit you opponent. When the fight is over you level up. Enjoy! Post Your best score on the Newgrounds’ page.

Hi everyone.
This project is awesome: that’s the only time I found the motivation to create a complete game and not to just experiment around.

In Shoot 1UP, you control a fighter attacking enemy aircraft infected with creepy, machine-controlling alien parasites. Your ship harnesses the alien power and is using it against them!
The twist on the vertical shooting action is that instead of gaining extra lives and taking them in turn, any time you gain an extra life that ship comes into play right then!

Please enjoy.
