Re: [pygame] Collaborative game in 8 weeks.
Sounds like a good idea, but I think you should pick a theme and then see who
wants to participate. It'll save you a week, make sure that you are interested,
and help to make sure that people who commit time in the beginning don't lose
interest before the end of the project.
