1-D Curling

Going 1-D, while the world is going 4D : The prompt invited interactions that use only one row of pixels, hence the 1-dimension. I built a 1-Dimensional version of the sport Curling. The object of the game is to make the yellow pixel stop within the target ( red and blue pixels). The input device is shaped like a curling stone and moves the pixel proportional to the temporal displacement of stone.

Let our powers combine…

Processing and Arduino make a formidable team. The advanced graphical processing capabilities of Processing greatly expand the capabilities of a vast set of peripherals for Arduino.

The State Machine

The state machine is the brain behind the game. It’s an essential part of any interaction and one of the most valuable concepts I learned through this project

I presented my 1D Curling game encased in ice, as homage to my inspiration.
