Conor Dolan – Final Project

My final project is titled “Us Humans are More Alike than we are Different.” The theme of this project is connection, and I wanted to show what makes us humans all alike, and what connects all of us.

I tried to make my project kind of like a game show, where the two players are presented with a series of questions or statements that they can agree or disagree with. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish my input for the project, I was in the process of making a board kind of similar to an old style arcade with an agree and a disagree button for each player. I got put into isolation recently and didn’t take the supplies I needed with me, so for now I just used my keyboard.

I used Max for my project, but most of the text boxes were made with Adobe Photoshop, converted into PNGs, and cycled through using a playlist in Max. I reused the video_player patch from the meme sketch project for the check mark animations. I was planning on using the MaKey MaKey kit and its respective patch, but like I said earlier sadly my input did not get done. Another thing I used a lot was if statements, mainly to get info from how the players answered and output the proper visuals.

Also, special thanks to Zihang for helping me with the background colors!

    Nice work with getting the digital piece – I know conditionals can get a bit rough in max. Glad you were able to finish.

    This is impressive that you made a game within MAX, I could definitely see this being expanded on in a game engine and probably with some game narration. Great work.
