Moving Jedi by hands
Inspiration ✨
The retro theme reminded us of 2 things. Our favorite childhood game Space Invaders and our favorite movie Star Wars. This inspired our project which is renovated Space Invaders in Star Wars theme with motion detection!
What it does? 👨💻
The user plays the role of a Jedi, defeating the aliens with his lightsaber! To modernize it, we decided to use mouse controls instead of the classic keypad. We wanted to try more motion detection techniques but the time was limited and we could not implement it.
How we built it ⚙️
Python
- we used opencv to detect and label the hands
- the label generated was used to control the player object in the game made using pygame.
Figma
- we used figma to plan out a wireframe and to materialise the idea for the ui.
Adobe-illustrator and photoshop
- we used them to create the assets.
Challenges we ran into 💻
- Working with motion detection for the first time!
- Also, our first experience with game development!
Accomplishments that we're proud of 🏆
- Making sick graphics!!
- Modernizing a classic game!
What we learnt 📚
Teamwork makes the dream work!
What's next for Space Invaders? 🔥
Trying out a bunch of motion detection technologies like eye movement detection!!
