"The impossible game" Project 3 (Interactive mouse toy) inspiration





The first thing that came into my mind after reading the project 3 outline was "The impossible game". I know this is a game, not an interaction, but I think it's a great example of how really simple thing can be really interesting and fun to play with, which proves that something interesting and amazing doesn't mean something complex. I probably should tell a little bit about the game itself. "The impossible game" is an i-pod application. Basically the rules are you touch the screen at the right moment. When you touch the screen, the little cube jums over the obstacles and if you don't do it at the right moment it explodes and you start the level from the very begining.
Also what I love about this game is that the cube is supposed to jump to the beat, so the music is used to help to get the right moment

And just to show you what happens if you fail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCuM5M-DfPw

Inspiration for project 2






I really like those five pictures above because they visually explain what the pattern is and I arranged them in a way that shows the difference between a really good to poor structure. The very top image shows a really wellstructured pattern and as each next picture is a little more random and less organised, however from my point of view all can be still called structures.
















I was also very interested to look at knitteng schemes, because knitting patterns usually have a very good structure based on mathematical calculations.

The reason why I decided to post the picture above is just a really good use of color, so I find this image quite inspiring.





The image above shows how to make a simple structure by repeating and object. Even though the image is quite complex it makes quite a nice and simple structure.
