Idea One
A. Digital Ping Pong
B. Our first idea was to make a game that emulates the sport table tennis or ping pong. This game is divided into two parts. The first part which is based on Processing, will have a ball that can move randomly on the screen. Then in the middle of the screen it is separated by a line (which will be like the net on a ping pong table). In the second part, we want to make a movable ping pong paddle made with Arduino. When the ball touches the edge, the paddle moves to the position of the ball to trigger the ball to rebound. If the paddle doesn’t catch the ball then it will go off the edge and the other team scores a point. As the game progresses, the ball moves faster and faster. This is a game that you can play at home during quarantine.

Idea Two
A. Falling Pacman
B. For this project idea we were inspired by the game of Pacman (mainly the character itself and how it swallows the dots). We were thinking about having a big Pacman eating small Pacmans but making it a game for two. There will be one big one on each side of the screen and they will move horizontally to eat the falling/bouncing/moving small Pacmans. Whoever eats the most wins. As for how each player will make the big Pacman eat we will use an ultrasonic ranger and use the distance to represent moving left or right. This project is purely entertainment and will be a fun game for whenever someone is bored. It can even be a game for one to try and reach the highest number of eats.

Idea Three
A. Picture & Jeopardy Game
B. In this third idea we have a whole concept of a game with multiple parts to it (will require multiple players). First you will need to play a game of guessing the picture (on processing we will have a hidden picture and black sections on it to cover the majority of it, when you press a button on the arduino you will reveal a section of the picture). Whoever guesses the picture right will be able to move onto the next part of the game. On a separate laptop and processing and arduino there will be a game of jeopardy. There will be two buttons (yes or no) and leds on the arduino and then on processing we have a black screen with boxes/grid pattern that when we choose a box there will be a question inside and we will see who gets the question first (by playing a game of pressing the button the fastest or reaching a certain number of presses). The players will need to guess a new picture for each question. The person with the most points will win. With this whole experience you can host game nights at home at any time.

Idea Four
A. Stress Puncher
B. For our last idea we thought of making something that would help you de-stress. We will have gloves that will include pressure sensors and when you punch towards the screen you will see bruises that appear on the processing screen due to the pressure used in the process. If you feel like you need to let go of feelings or letting it out, this is a great way to express it and you might even get some exercise in as well!
