Dance Dance Simon


Presents



Overview:
For are final prototype we decided to recreate the single player party game Simon into a multiplayer party dancing game.

We came up with this idea by looking at the game requirements and thinking about party games we have played in the past, Simon seems like a natural choice to build a base off of. The next step was we wanted to incorporate the video into our game so we developed a simple console application to randomly pick and play a user defined number of videos in a row that are individual moves from Chaiyya Chaiyya video.

The game functions much like the game Simon in that the moves keep repeating, with a break in between for the players to copy the moves.



Dance Dance Simon Rules:
The game is intended as an icebreaker to be used at parties, social gatherings, etc.
The game operates similarly to the game “Simon” where a computer plays a pattern based on four buttons (Red, blue, green, yellow).  It is the player’s job to return that same pattern.  Successfully repeating the computer’s pattern adds one button to the list of patterns, scaling up the difficulty.  It is a single player memory game.

Similarly, our game hopes to turn this into a multiplayer dancing game. 

Setup:
·         All players stand facing the Leader.
·         The “Leader” may be: a person, a video, a drawing, or any other representation of dance moves
o   We have provided a program that randomizes dance moves based on clips from the actual Chaiyaa Chaiyaa dance scene
How to Play:
·         The leader starts by showing one dance move
o   All players must repeat the same move. 
o   If any player fails to do so, they are out
·         The leader repeats the first dance move, then adds a new one
o   All players must repeat this dance move sequence
o   Any player who fails to repeat the move is out
·         The leader repeats the previous dance sequence, and adds a new move
o   All players must repeat this dance sequence
o   Any player who fails to repeat the move is out
·         The game continues until there is one person left.  This person is declared the winner
