WizardsInPyjamas

Inspiration

We want to wizard. Now we are.

What it does

WizardsInPyjamas is a virtual reality game that utilizes the Kinect and Myo Armbands to grant the player powers of a wizard! Throw fireballs and call upon meteor strikes upon a flickadawrist!

How I built it

The world was built in Unity and the in-game components are programmed in Unity C# editor. Several of the models were made in paint.net and photoshop. We interfaced the Kinect and Myo to provide position tracking.

Challenges I ran into

Integrating the Myos accelerometer and orientation output with the Kinect position data to create gestures with attack attributes. Collision detection with various objects.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Successfully mapping the motion in real life to in game gestures. Writing the code for the player, enemy, update, and battle mode successfully.

What I learned

How to Git correctly. Myo accelerometer detection.

What's next for WizardsInPyjamas

Lightning!!! More models/enemies.

I worked on Unity mainly, writing enemy generation/collision scripts and working with particle effects. I also connected the Google Cardboard to Unity.

I was responsible for reading accelerometer data off the Myo armband and integrating it with Unity 5 to incorporate arm gestures and arm movement to our game in the form of player attacks. I've never worked with Myo or Unity before this hackathon, so it was pretty cool that I got it to work.

Eric Tan
I worked on the modeling of the 3D characters and their attacks through Unity and the Unity C# editor. I also worked on the battle system and hp/mana bar. I mostly filled in the jobs that did not have to deal directly with the Kinect or Myos, but I learned a lot about the way those systems work and integrate.
