Last night while I was lying in bed it occurred to me that I don't think I've seen a one dimensional game on this site. That is probably for obvious reasons (How fun can it be?) but that got me thinking that it makes it even more ripe for us to have fun with. How fun can we make a one dimensional game?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, it to make a one dimensional game. That means the only movement is from left to right OR top to down. There cannot be both. Sounds like a pain, no?
Any suggestions or further definitions of one dimensional gameplay would be helpful. I think we could all have some fun with a little exercise like this, you wouldn't be limited by coding or graphics necessarily so the playing field would be fairly level I think. Anyway, what do you guys think?

I was thinking that too, but there is an up and down in that game. I was thinking more like something someone would make on an atari 2600.

I made a one-dimensional game once. It was even sort of playable, provided you were not colorblind. I'll have to reupload it though.

Wouldn't it need to be limited to a 320x1 resolution or something along those lines?

I don't think you need to limit the screensize. The interface could be 2D. 3D games usually have 2D interfaces as well. Edited by X_Sheep

It's just the gameplay that should be 1D
