Making a Game?

So now it was our turn to come up with a game...when your first told to do something you think 'yeah i can do, this course i can' but when your sat with a blank piece of paper infront of you for half an hour just staring at it you know your not getting any further!.. I suppose it doesnt just take someone a day to come up with a new game they probably go through a process like fashion designers do, such as sketching a few ideas making a toile etc!

After looking on the interent at all different games, it seemed like every idea that had spring to mind had been done already! - Back to square one! My group then decided to go for familiarity with a twist, PACMAN! We would make Pacman but a version of pacman that is actually physical and not interactive, for example we would have a room set out like a maze and their would be lights on the floor. The pacman would then run across the lights and they would go off, the lights would have to all be off before the chaser gets hold of you!
