Currently, as an easter egg, BWAPI draws animated Christmas lights at the top of the screen around Christmas time.
This is cool, but I want a solution that will replace existing game graphics.
The problem is I can't find any holiday graphics. For example, a Nexus with Christmas lights strung over it, or doodad tree sprites with a star, snowman, etc.
The original graphics MUST be preserved, that is, we can't replace a Command Center with a giant jack-o-lantern, because then you wouldn't be able to tell that it is a command center.
I'm asking if anyone can provide such graphics? Any holiday is acceptable.
Some ideas (also check any stereotypical stuff):
Christmas
- Christmas lights strung across terran/protoss buildings
- Some heroes (infested kerrigan) with a santa hat or something
- Christmas tree decor on tree doodads
- Presents as powerups (gas sac, mineral chunk, etc)
- Presents around buildings and doodads
- Ice tileset would be best to work with
Halloween
- Faces on trees/rocks
- Jack-o-lanters next to buildings/doodads
- Pumpkins or candy as powerups
- Ashworld would be best to work with
- Heroes wearing costumes/masks
New Year's
- Some explosions as fireworks.
- Some heroes wearing party hats
Easter
- Easter eggs as powerups
- Eggs hidden in doodads
- Baskets/chocolate placed around buildings/doodads
- Workers carry easter baskets
Valentine's
- Heart chocolate and cards around buildings/doodads
- Medic healing as a heart
- Possibly some other bullets as a heart
St.Patrick's
- Some small bush doodads as clovers
- Lucky charms hidden in doodads
- Pot of gold every so often around doodads
...and any other holiday that has a theme. Also keep in mind most of them can be put onto the sign doodads found in badlands.
To be honest I don't expect anything, but if there is, and if I think it's good then it will be packed in for BWAPI4. I will extend the in-game credits to include everyone who has contributed to BWAPI.
