Week 11

(5/2/14)

Today we discuss and decide to change our project plan again. I think this is the fifth time of changing proposal. But we kind of lost. We are thinking using kinect to sense jumping, to simulate the user is the dear and when user jump the dear jump to let the user to interact with the story.

Then we present the our new idea to Shahnim and ask us to tell what we want to do in person and try to think what we can create from our interest. But we cannot what we like so we stick back to the old plan. Then we was order to write on a piece paper. So i start writing and linking point.

After i list the detail and had a final discussion with jazmi. And they approve the idea. We start to discuss about design and interface and i start to research on coding. Due to i have some similar coding assignment. So i am kind of familiar. Due to today is alpha test. I get some tutorial files from Leon because our coding is similar. But after getting the tutorial i realise the code is different from what we want. So i get back my previous assignment coding and refine most of the thing to create the prototype to show it is side scrolling.

Then i start research on how to trigger two key to make object move or jump because our installation need to two person to interact together. And gerry help me find out the code as well.

Then we discuss on how to organise the story because our group start late compare to other team so need to plan everything first before we start operate.

At night i ask angela to come over tomorrow so that we can go get the tool and material that we need to buy.

(6/2/14)

Today we going to get arduino at Shah Alam. Angela fetch us there. Because i went before so we reach there safely that we buy two flex sensor then left to pyramid for logistic projector stand.

we head to pyramid ace hardware to check out the material. But we ended up didn't buy anything due to the price is very expensive and also we find out that is a bit hard for us to bring over the projector stand to publika. So we thinking of creating the projector stand with pvc pipes. So we head back to my place.

We start to test arduino code and connect arduino to flash in processing to check is the sensor i working then we try two sensor to check that they can work together or not. 

After settling most of the arduino part. I went back to my game coding. And i ask gerry to contact jeremy to see when is he going to buy the pvc pipes so that we can tag along.
