You've got to be more specific then that.

Does the game need to be done by next week? or only a write up on how you intend to create it?
if its only the write up, how long do you have to work on the game? (weeks? months?)

what type of game are we talking about here? (considering you say this is for a thesis project, i'm guessing it's gotta be a little more advance then Pong).

Do you want 2d or 3d?
any other features like multiplayer gameplay over the Internet?

will you be working on it alone?

oh, boy, you are in trouble .

[h3ckboy]

how much experience do you have?

[DzzD]

minesweeper maybe a good candidat

thesis ?! I think I may misunderstood the sens of this word in english ( in french this mean a one year higly advanced research works, is that what you mean ?? one week ?? )

[h3ckboy]

I think he said, the proposal is due in a week?

'Thesis' is what you write when you are studing for a Phd.  I suspect this isn't what you mean.  Having said that, I have no idea on how complex the game needs to be or how long you've got.  Sounds like you've left it to the last minute!

The Game Proposal
==============

Working out gameplay that is challenging, yet fun is difficult.  If you don't have to be original, I would suggest reworking the theme and gameplay of an existing game. If it has to be original, that's really hard, as you won't know whether it plays well until after you make it.

Consider the various game genres. e.g. Platformer, Shooter, Role Playing, Strategy, Racing
Decide on a Theme: e.g. Space, Western, Fantasy
Decide on the Implementation: 2D versus 3D.  If 3D is it first or third person view
Consider Level Design. There's a book 'Game Level Design' by Ed Byrne, but if you've only got a week, I doubt you've got time.  What is the level goal, how is it scored; What power ups; How do you get damaged.  How does difficulty progress with Level.
Think of a background story to set the game in context



If you get the proposal in successfully, it's time to move on to programming. Hopefully you have more time here, as you will need it.

You will need to learn to program in Java first, then when you've got the fundementals, move on to game programming.  I suggest you get some books, download the java sdk and work through some of the examples.
