Thought I'd start a topic for the discussion of ideas and sharing of progress now that we're a couple of days in.
I love the theme but have struggled a bit with where to go with it - my initial clowning around session resulted in a QWOP style system where you make a sunflower walk around. Quick and dirty gif: http://imgur.com/Uplavxf
I don't think its the right direction though. After some research I am thinking about doing something related to biomass production in space, although that could be a bit large in scope.
How about the rest of you?
