Hi,

If you don't know what this is - ignore it. I'm just using the webspace to make things easier to read.

Idea #1 - Overdrive

Overdrive

Peggy board looks like an overhead view of the FIRST Robotics Competition Overdrive game. One robot (possibly two) run around the track manipulating the ball(s) and scoring points along the way that in the end increment the time displayed on the right side.

The time is incremented by either having a robot drive under the overpass (bars in middle), pushing a ball under the overpass, or throwing a ball over the overpass.

Robot and ball are animated to move around the track with randomized game sequences.

Idea #2 - Ball Jump

Ball Jump

Peggy board looks like something like "Kitten Jump" (game for iPhone), though instead of a kitten and clouds, a ball must jump from level to level incrementing a second bar graph on the left side of the screen which when filled (i.e. 60 seconds) causes the ball to fall or fail and the minute/hour digits to increase. The levels move down as one and the ball must jump to the next level to advance.

Idea #3 - Matrix

Matrix

Peggy board displays only three digits hanging in various vertical distances along the board. When any digit increases, that specific digit falls to the bottom in a "matrix" (i.e. random character/structure/display) fashion until it hits the bottom and wraps back to the top until it forms the correct number. Each digit is placed at a random vertical distance every time it falls.
