I want to create a children's game that teaches networking concepts to kids. I figure I can make graphically cute "packets" and do a wacky pathfinding thingamajig like chu-chu rocket. Expansions can add new network devices with new features. I can add rpg elements like new routing protocols and things like fast switching. Multiplayer could be like a race with your friends on trying to fix a network "path" so that multiple packets get to their destination fastest.

Why do I want to do this? Because I figure if I do, someone, somewhere will be staring blankly at a network diagram with a problem and his little daughter will glance over it and go "duh dad, you need to match the EIGRP process IDs".

you would SO play it and you would so get hooked on it.

Plus, I figure long term, rapid nerdification of America would eventually lead to nerds getting more sex from the women.
