KISS... A virtual paper doll program that was played with the mouse only.
It was a blast and there are 1000s of dolls already made... If there were a way to write a program for the DS that was capable of loading the doll sets That would be impressive.

I never figured that playing with a virtual paper doll would be any fun. I tried out the windows version and think it has distinct possibilities. I don't think that you could import the dolls that are already made. I might be wrong as I just started programming on the DS. Funny thing is the site has an adults only section for dolls. Anyone else know anything about this?

I bought my daughter a DS earlier last month and she absolutely loves Animal Crossing and Super Princess Peach. I was reading over some of the topics and found this. I looked at the site and called my daughter in to see it too. She was immediately engrossed in changing the clothes, hairstyles, etc for about 3 hours straight. Provided that questionable dolls are excluded, I think it would go over very well.

I'm not terribly interested in dolls. If I change my mind, I'll play the sims.

Hentai dolls, I'm assuming. They are for really really single guys who want to remain that way.

I assume that a paper-doll sim is just a program that lets you take a library of sprite cels and draw them on top of one another, right?

Basically. It probably includes positioning offsets as well. If I were to write one I'd include clothing types so you can't put on two hats or dresses. Two hats can be done, but it would make for one ugly art spec. I'd also assume that all dolls are the same size, for the sake of simplicity and reuseability.
| Code: |
struct MyDoll
{
id_t doll;
id_t head;
id_t body;
id_t legs;
id_t hands;
id_t feet;
};
struct MyDollPart
{
id_t type;
id_t image;
int xOfs;
int yOfs;
};
MyDollPart dollDoll[DOLL_DOLL_MAX];
MyDollPart dollHead[DOLL_HEAD_MAX];
MyDollPart dollBody[DOLL_BODY_MAX];
MyDollPart dollLegs[DOLL_LEGS_MAX];
MyDollPart dollHands[DOLL_HANDS_MAX];
MyDollPart dollFeet[DOLL_FEET_MAX];
image_t imageLibrary[IMAGE_LIBRARY_MAX]; |
MyDoll entries index the MyDollPart arrays.
MyDollPart image entries index the imageLibrary
and contain x and y offsets. Type could be implicit.
To make things fancy cost, palette, etc could
be added.

I think this forum is probably a bad place to post this poll, you will get a poor response in numbers and most people will say no, this isnt because the idea isnt any good, i quite like the idea, but I think this forum is full of guys and girls who write software, they dont play with dolls - ask it in a different forum... my 2$

This has a market. Dating sims have a market as well. I'll quote myself by saying "really really single guys who want to remain that way" and add even if the don't realize it. This is huge demographic. I went to high school with at least one guy who falls into this category. You'll need to be careful how you make the dolls, and you'll probably want to be able to do something with them.
You could also go for the weaker "8-year old girl" demographic with more or less the same code base. =P How frightening.
