got two ideas for the asteroids
1. might take some pictures of it going around its centre axis so it can be animated to be spinning
2. it shouldnt get destroyed when it hits the plane but fly through and just have a small camera shake on collision

Zach says adding a camera shake wont be a problem so tonight I shall get some more images of the asteroids at different angles.

 

231 Third Project Concept

To force routine in people watching films I have decided to make a film where the frameRate corresponds to how fast the user turns a hand crank.

I will use an arduino and a rotary encoder to get the input and use Processing code to make the film work.

I will most likely use a silent film as when sound plays slower or faster than 25fps it would be really annoying and detract. This may change as I test it.

What needs to be done

So before our Beta presentation on the 17th I need to have all of this done:

Main menu

High Scores

About / Instructions

Choose Spaceship Menu

PreGame Animation

Asteroid Images

End Game Screen

I feel that these are all quite easy goals and plan on getting them all done in order over the next 2 weeks.
