Introduction Our project is a tilt maze game controlled by a glove worn by the user, which contains an accelerometer as well as sensors for each finger. The tilt of the maze is continuously updated in accordance with the position of the user’s hand. The maze itself contains several holes with servo-controlled trapdoors obstructing the

Introduction For our final project, we made a video game in which the player controls a predator and gains points by eating boids. The video game ended up having three different modes and could be played by either one or two players. We enjoyed taking the optimization lab of lab 2 and turning it into

INTRODUCTIONBOIDS Our project leverages two potentiometers to create an “etch-a-sketch” type interactive device and arcade game collection. We wanted to create a fun game that uses much of what we learned previously in the course, including flocking simulation, hardware input though potentiometers, optimization, and graphic interface control. When the user first enters the program, they
