My Final Project: Essay

A. 

“Battle of ships”

B. 

I will be mainly working focused on the research mentioned in the previous blog where I have to manipulate the object on the screen with a specific sensor. The audience that I will be leaning toward is arcade game lovers that range from teens to adults. The main impact is to bring those nostalgic and simple games without any complexity back to life with a little twist. 

C. 

For the next few weeks I will be following project plan: 

  1. Create a graphic design of the game interface with Processing 
    1. Finish it by Wednesday 30th Nov
  2. Start working with Arduino to create the tilted sensor which reacts to the wrist movement from left to write
    1. Finish it by Friday, 2nd Dec
  3. Combine Arduino with Processing so they correspond to each other
    1. Finish by Monday, 5th Dec
    2. This means the ship in the Processing has to react to the movement of the the tilted sensor attack to the wrist of the player
  4. Start making the overall design of the Arduino so its not the circuit hanging out but something wearable around the wrist. Maybe gloves or bracelet that can be laser cut as well. 
    1. Finish by next Wednesday 7th Dec.

[OPTIONAL]

If I happen to finish it earlier I want to add a noice reflection which corresponds to certain noice to make bullets come out of a ship so it can destroy other ships. 

D. 

I believe the research that I have done so far helped me greatly in creation of this idea. I think what makes my project different is the fact that it is wearable unlike any other arcade came which requires some sort of consult to play with mine will not. And it will give this seamless interaction with the game like if you are inside the game. In addition, I hope to bring joy to the kids of 70s when arcade game was thriving. It is true that they are older by now but it would be an amazing reminiscing journey into childhood. Furthermore, I want to bring some value to those game that don’t really have extremely hard contextual meaning behind or a puzzle to solve or any attachment where if you die or lose you can rise up and play again without any strings attached. And I believe this will bring out the happiness in people from playing and having fun.
