Angry Birds Addon

It would be really awesome if a master author could create a Angry Birds type addon.

Or if Blizz, since they've done this with several other popular games, could incorporate it right into their game. Sort-of like how they did Plants vs. Zombies for the Singing Sunflower companion and the other things they've done.

Sometimes it's more fun to watch the Angry Nerds in trade chat.

Most addons based on existing games like Bejeweled are actually published by the game's original creator, in that specific case, Popcap Games. Rovio, the creator of Angry Birds, would have to port the game to run on WoW. The responsibility falls on them because of the sole fact it's against Blizzard's addon policy to include copyrighted material in an addon without the copyright owner's consent.

The animations are simple enough, the only difficult part would be all the physics calculations and collision detection, both of which are purely mathematical and can be done in any language, you just need to figure out the right formulas.

deffinately a job for Moongaze, he's the dude who wrote the Bejeweled and peggle addons for popcap games, all they did was supply the art.

He'll have to get permission from Rovio for Angry Birds still.
