…Pong

As a follow up to Ping…

In class today we had our serial XPort Pong tournament. The general premise was to make a controller of some sort that is able to connect with the computer running a game of Pong that TIgoe made and have fun playing with others in the classroom. As you might expect, with a vague project description we end up having a wide range of controllers and methods that come up.

Here are a few of the controllers our class came up with:
See-saw
Pulley
Pizza box
Remote control
Origami
Iron (that’s mine)
Feather duster
Urinal
Zombie hack attack

There were quite a few more, but that gives you an idea of how we do it here in ITP.
