No, you'd have to change all of that plus reprogramming the game from the ground up. Using no part of the original source.

Unfortunately, if you opt to use stolen code, your game will always have the stigma of being a rip. If you want the accomplishment of being accepted as an original game, you cannot take shortcuts. | |

And I feel something needs to be done about Teka and other BYOND volunteers who coddle game makers and allow ripped games (And not games just being suspected of being ripped but that could be proven as being ripped) to be listed or given a fan-game status as long as they change the outward appearance of the game. Because all that does is continue this thought process that it is alright to rip as long as you change some icons and add a little of your own coding or remap so it looks a little different but in reality it is the same. I have nothing against Teka of course, just that if I worked hard on a project and some how its source or icons or music or whatever got released without my permission Or what have you, I would like to be safe in the knowledge that some asshole couldn't get there hands on it and change it slightly and still call it there own. | |
In order for it to be original, you'd basically have to make it so that there's no possible way at all to identify it with any other source. Changing the map, and editing a lot wont make it not a rip, it makes it a revised rip.
Basically, you'd be better off starting off from scratch. GOA was a rip; it took about a year and a half for it to become original, whereas if it was built from scratch it would've taken less time (probably a =lot= less) | |

I already raged about this on another thread, and I am not going to rant again... I hope.
You can't make anything that is a rip, original. No. way. If you have anything to say against that, don't. Why? Because you're wrong... [just] wrong. So wrong that you're drowning in the sea of wrong and I am on the boat of Right waiting to save you if you can realize how impossible it is.
don't.even.try.
