Video showcasing the game, with me doing a bad job voicing over my gameplay: I hit most of the points of what my project is in the video, but I’ll explain it here as well. My project is called “As Easy As Pie”; in it, you make a pie. The game is split into four…

As Easy As Pie? – Adam Moran Final Project Concept
For you purists out there, the idiom “as easy as pie” refers to the act of eating a pie, which is supposedly very easy. But you can’t eat a pie without somebody having made the pie. I haven’t made a pie before, but I can assume that making a pie is much harder than eating…
Adam Moran – Computer Vision Gestures
I’m going to say this right now. I’m a boring individual. I don’t have many activities that I’m passionate about, especially ones involving lots of movement (unless it’s pacing; I seem to like doing that). But I do like cats, including wild cats. When I saw that I can use Max to check for motion…
Adam Moran – Meme Remix
For my meme remix, I chose We Are Number One, as it has already been heavily remixed and has both visual and audio edits made to it. We Are Number One is one of many memes spawned from the kids’ TV show, Lazy Town. The context is that villain Robbie Rotten, whose goal is to…
Adam Moran – Paper Nature Revision
Thanks to some conductive tape and finding out that I have tape in my dorm, I can actually have a physical setup. It’s a bit of a wire mess, but it’s actually framing the screen and is interactable. I did not go with the recommendation to go with a full border as that would limit…
Adam Moran – Paper Nature
For my paper nature project, I made an abstract representation of the sky and the earth in different seasons. There are five ways to interact with it; the first four are to transition to another season, while the fifth is to start some season-specific animation. Here is an image of the physical interactibles, with four…
Adam Moran – Paper Nature Concept
For the paper nature project, I have decided to work with the changing of seasons. I am currently unsure if I will have all the interactables on a single piece of paper or if I will make cutouts to represent each season. Interacting with the respective object changes the season of the scene in the…
Adam Moran – Interactive Animation
Ended up just using a picture of my dorm room, which makes sense considering I spend most of my time here. Interactables include the power strip, both laptops, the trash bin, and the tissue box. Clicking on the power strip makes electricity flow out of it. Clicking on the right laptop makes it blow a…
Adam Moran – Animated Abstraction
For the animated abstraction, I took the color concept of my geometric abstraction and got rid of all the extra fluff. I used the cassette 808 samples to make a beat which activated animations based on the sound that was triggered. For example, a snare triggers a green ball while the cymbal triggers a yellow…
Adam Moran – Geometric Abstraction
For this assignment, I took inspiration from Thomas Downing’s Dots. What drew me to it was the simplicity of only using circles, as well as the use of radial symmetry in many of the paintings. While using radial symmetry in the positioning and sizes of my spheres, I chose a different route when it came…
