To complete this assignment I had to completely understand what the demonstration code was doing.
To decipher the parts of the code I don’t understand I had to resort to the fellows at the IMA lab.
The main part, I did not understand about the body pix code was how the rectangles were displayed not by the X and Y value of the canvas but by the index generated from body pix using the camera.
After figuring that out I was able to brainstorm more ideas on how to make an interesting game based on it.
As I played around more with the code, I realized that the white rectangles from the original code over a black background are almost like a mouse cursor moving on a black screen. That’s when I had the idea of making a “searching “game.
The goal of the game is to let the users find a red dot using their hands.
