The world of GOO Project 3 (Interactive mouse toy) inspiration

Retrieved May 13th from: http://macradar.ru/software/world-of-goo-uspeshno-perebralas-na-iphone/

This is an example of a more interactive toy (probably no need to explain the rules, everyone knows the world of goo). You never know how it reacts and this is exactly what makes it fun.

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

Retrieved 11th of May 2012 from: http://www.google.co.nz/imgres?hl=ru&sa=X&biw=1333&bih=645&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnsa&tbnid=acdQJHZjPStzqM:&imgrefurl=http://marketplace.xbox.com/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025855037e/&docid=aPh765Y1Mgq2LM&imgurl=http://download.xbox.com/content/xna/assets/5855037E_World/screen1.jpg&w=1000&h=562&ei=Tom0T76rK-iXiAeSo934Ag&zoom=1

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

Final hand in

These picture represent the development wich I hv chosen as my final hand in. So I chose my final 8 images out of these. Here is also my final code.

Stroke changing

While choosing my final I was choosing between these images and the ones which became my final hand in. I think this development is quite strong and really did have a potential to become my final. Changing a strokeweight is very simple, but it provides an amazing result. I really like how on the last couple of images the negative space makes up new shapes and it completely ruins the structure but at the same time kin of gives a feeling of a new structure apearing on the picture, even though it is still quite noisy.
