Media+Code

Fast (bus) game built for an ipod touch 3rd generation. The goal of the game is to collect as many cranberries as possible in a time frame of 30 seconds. If you instead hit the ladybug then there will be a 5 sec penalty. The cramberries are randomly generated in the screen place and keep reappearing each time they have been collected. There are 5 berries and a ladybug at any given time.

The gesture to pick a berry is tapping on the screen because there is not enough surface area for pinching.

On 7/December, we will have our project concept presentation.

Theme of the project:

• The project can be any application that involves multitouch interaction.
• Many of the exercises under the “iPhoneExamples” and “iPhoneSpecificExamples” folders in openFrameworks are a good representation of the techniques we are learning in the course, and can be used for inspiration.
• Also check other oF resources, such as the oF Forum. The Forum is very rich on information and resources, and has a dedicates iOS section.
• In your project, you will probably have to mix parts of these exercises, and the exercises done during the classes.

How to present the concept: Continue reading →

The course focuses on using multitouch interaction to create engaging experiences using different media elements. Multiple devices will be used, with an emphasis on mobile phones/tablets and the iOS platform. Other devices and platforms will also be discussed.

The main development environment for the course will consist of openFrameworks/C++ with Xcode. Students should have previously attended the Software Studies for Media Designers course, or demonstrate having acquired equivalent skills. Students are required to plan, develop, document and present a project at the end of the course.
