NANY 2011 Release: "VeggieSquares" - Children's Game
Briansdad:
Could you be more specific on what you mean by "I need hundreds of short phrases I can populate the "balloon" responses from the vegetables." Maybe some examples?

Thanks for your interest. I made some changes to the "Help!" above, but here is what I added...
There are three types of phrases...
* (Veggie A likes Veggie B) "Ah! It's nice to be near you!" or "I like being close to you!"
* (Veggie A is indifferent (neutral) to Veggie B) "<Yawn> Oh, it's you." or "You planning on hanging around a while?"
* (Veggie A dislikes Veggie B) "Would you mind moving somewhere else, please?" or "I don't think I like being around you." or "Being near you makes me uncomfortable."
As you can tell, I'm not real creative (nor fun) with these. That's why I need the help. :-[
Since not all vegetables benefit from companion planting I am trying to convey relationships (beneficial, neutral or antagonistic) in human terms, the benefit/detriment between one vegetable being planted in proximity to another. I need a lot of phrases to express the feelings one "person" (Veggie) might have for the other if he/she was happy to be near the other, doesn't really care or was unhappy to be near the other. If I have a lot of phrases, graphics and sounds, the child shouldn't get bored too easily and might learn some important gardening wisdom by osmosis.
Hope that helps?
Briansdad:
This could be fun. I'll see what I can come up with and ask a few friends too.

Thanks a bunch! I intend to get 100 of each. This will let me use the hundredths of a second for randomization. No sense making it more difficult than necessary.
FYI - the target age is +/- 8 years old.
tomos:
What's the target age group? "FYI - the target age is +/- 8 years old"
Smell could be important - I dont know can plants smell (?)
but how about:
Ooooohh! you smell nice :-)
or
YEEEeeeuuuaaaahhh SMELLLLL BAAAADDDD :-D
It's tempting to give them adult characteristics (I dont mean anything risque) but dont know would this be interesting for kids (depending on the age group).
