PopCap: Thank you so much for your interest. However, Plants vs Zombies, the game and its content or any other related materials pertaining to it, is a property of Electronic Arts. As much as we appreciate your enthusiasm in creating an online version of the game, the company wants to protect its authorship. You can still make a similar game provided for your personal consumption and provide no distribution in any form to other parties or any other means. Thank you. Oooh. Looks like they don't want us.

But wait, just because one little company said that we couldn't use their stuff doesn't mean that we shouldn't stop trying!

We can still use our ideas, but make an entirely different game altogether! Think about it, instead of being just associated with one fandom, we can start our own! I'm not saying we make a rip-off of PvZ, but something with more different gameplay, like a platformer quest game, where you can unlock different characters each with their own special ability and costume! And best of all, we can do whatever we want with our stuff!

How about a time-travel quest RPG game, where each location has some people you can help just to get back home? That way, we can use our ideas while not using Popcap's property? I've programmed a couple of stuff before, and I'm sure with a little determination, we can pull it off!

Here's some examples of my work.
