I figured some of our more talented designers might be able to put this illustration of mine into an appropriate setting... so have at it, gang:

(I don't suppose anyone has a switchable on/off bit of scripting that simulates a turning trilon, do they??)

Long ago, Jamie DeVriend, I believe it was who hosted 'Net Pyramid has some kind of rotating graphic on his site.
In Palace, we have a script that turns trilons, but I don't know if that scripting language can be used outside of Palace.

Oh, my goodness, that's pretty.

I remain puzzled (heh heh -- get it? -- "puzzled") why there isn't a decent Concentration computer game on the market, especially since there are a couple of lousy ones. How cool would it be to have a game that could be played either with original Concentration graphics and game play (and new monotone puzzles designed by Norm Blumenthal) or with Classic Concentration graphics and game play (and new full-color puzzles designed by Steve Ryan)?

I have a turning trilon in Flash. Let me dig it up and I can post it here when I get back from doing stuff.

I agree with Matt. All the work that goes into making decent computer games are basically jazzed up text games. TPiR, Concentration, Classic Concentration and Catch Phrase (if anyone cares about that one) would have made great computer games.

With the pilots just done for the new syndicated series of Catch Phrase, there might be some care.

Count me in on Matt's idea, for one piece of software that'll play any version.

I tried to come up with a 50s-60s-70s "Concentration" game last year, using Flash. The graphics I could handle, but I couldn't wrap my brain around the software.

If I had some money, I'd pay someone to do one for us! But I'm in radio and TV, so ... no money.

Sorry to exhume this thread, but-- Alex, did you ever find that turning trilon Flash effect that you were referring to...? If so, I'd be interested in seeing it.
