I kept fixating on the flex sensor in the Arduino kit, wondering what on Earth I could make with it&#8230; but today I thought of something that the sensor could represent.  An elephant trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this pitch, I decided to go with a more literal interpretation of the classic  metaphor, the elephant in the room.  I&#8217;m planning to make a digital room in Unity, with 1-2 human characters and an elephant in the room (the elephant could also just have its head through a window).  One player would use the flex sensor and at least one other sensor for movement of the elephant, while 1-2 other players use gamepads to avert the human characters&#8217; gaze away from the elephant.  The elephant&#8217;s goal is to make the humans acknowledge it, and the humans&#8217; goal is to do the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/10\/Elephant.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1447\" width=\"368\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/10\/Elephant.png 562w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/10\/Elephant-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/10\/Elephant-298x300.png 298w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><figcaption> A quick mockup of a 2-player scenario: <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> The mechanics are heavily inspired by the recently released Untitled Goose Game, in which you play as a goose whose only goal is to cause mayhem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Untitled Goose Game - Teaser Trailer - Nintendo Switch\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GrVNwqbH0kA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This isn&#8217;t very well thought out, I&#8217;ll admit &#8211; once again this week I&#8217;ve been way more caught up with the technology available rather than finding a decent project subject.
