Final project concept

Ok, so for my final project, I really liked the idea of doing a play mat for a game that got mentioned in class today. I think I’m going to try something similar to his idea but using my friend’s Magic deck instead of using Yugioh. I don’t really want to do a mat, but I do want to do some kind of interactive video or audio to the game and the methods that my friend uses to play. Luckily, he uses multiple copies of the same cards a lot so it would be easy to make images or animation that are like cut outs of the cards that he uses. He uses goblin card so I figure that it shouldn’t be too hard to find or make animations for it. I would want to have it be very specific to him and not really a generalization because it seems a bit easier. I would hope to use actual cards as the sensors, but I feel like that would actually mess up the cards a lot because of the alligator clips, so I will probably end up using some spare card covers that we have. I will definitely need to look up some animations or images of goblin quickly so that if I don’t find any I have time to make my own. Of course I will also need to test to see if the cards or the card cover are actually conductive, but if not I could always put a little bit of aluminum foil on them. For the program itself, I don’t really think that it should be too hard if I just use images. I could just have each keycode be registered to put up a different image and then to reset after a few seconds. All in all, it seems like the project could be very fun and I am looking forward to getting started on it.
