Hi Sandra,

Not quite everything you say, but take a look at "Mario Dash" here:

> * automatic scanning
> * put two or more parts on one button

> This is my idea:
> It is important that the gameworld is divided into certain parts.
> And the functionality of the button changes in each part of the game.
> E.g. one for firing and one for jumping.

> * Standard: the figure runs automatically from left to right.
> * (it should be possible to change the gamespeed)
> * in parts with enemies: the button is for firing.
> * in parts without enemies: the button is for jumping.
>
> * holes: when the figure falls in a whole, the figure los one live
> * jump on balks: when missed: the figure walks automatically back (but not
> too far) and back
> * jump off balks: when missed: the figure walks on this balks until the
> player gets the timing.
> * jump on walls: when missed: the figure walks automatically back (but not
> too far) and back
>
> * there should be no dead end
> * there should be lots of "save points" (do not frustrate the gamer too
> much)
> * exceptions: when there are two alternative ways (the more difficult 
> brings
> more points)

> What do you think?
