So I came up with this the other day. I started working on the sequel for OrbMania, but instead of just building onto the old engine I decided to make a new one to prevent the lag as well as make it more dynamic for levels and all that stuff. For many of the things that needed to be done I found that API was a good solution, and so the idea was born to make the whole game in API and eventually also the idea to make a collab consisting of games made only with code (sorry animators :P). I've thought some more about this and I think that it would be pretty awesome doing a collab with 6-8 games with a file size of only a few hundred kb or so :)
So the reason I'm writing this is to ask you guys what you think of it?
Also, I'm not really sure how we should do with sounds if this collab is being made. It's really boring playing games without sounds, but I would prefer if the file size of the final thing is as low as possible and it would be cool to be able to say that the number of objects in the library was absolutely zero =) A pretty good solution I came up with was that the sounds could be loaded externally, although I don't know if this might be considered cheating..
I know that the Flash forum is completely flooded with collabs, but at least this is an original idea (I haven't heard of anything similar at least?) and game collabs is very rare.
So, thoughts? :)

Very nice idea! I actually made a mini API game a while ago that I could convert for this collab - <a href="http://john.tringham.co.uk/String%20-%20bee.html">http://john.tringham.co.uk/String%20-
%20bee.html</a> .
I would join, and make a couple more games other than that.
