Idea<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea behind my project was my passion for Pokemon and the idea of the usage of alternative game controllers.<\/p>\n

I wanted to rebuild PokeBalls. That was the first idea. However, I quickly found myself struggling with the idea. So instead I 3D Printed three Pokemon I found on Thingiverse.\u00a0(Low-Poly Pokemon by FLOWALISTIK)<\/p>\n

I drew a graphite Pokeball and attached it to the MakeyMakey board as the ground. I attached aluminium foil to make the prints conductive.<\/p>\n

The animations were recorded using the VirtualBoy emulator and a program called TinyTake. I had quite a few issues throughout the cutting and rendering and actually decided, due to logic issues, to lower the number to two pokemon (namely Charmander and Chikorita).<\/p>\n

As soon as I finished the animations, I worked on the patcher. After hours and hours I managed to come up wiith the following:<\/p>\n
