Scaffolding: Progress Review

 

My controller is fairly straight-forward. It is designed to play Pac-man which requires players to switch their direction to a given cardinal direction on the fly. I thought a great way to make a fun controller would be to base the controller off of Pac-man’s appearance and place a potentiometer with a black knob where Pac-man’s eye would be. The potentiometer would be read and at certain intervals would influence the keyboard output from the Circuit Playground. While it may not be the most efficient way to play, I believe that it will be a refreshing experience to play this way for many of us who have grown accustomed to this classic game.

Pseudo-Code:

   First, we must state what we want to read here.

            We will also create variables for the range limits in order to improve readability.

            Here we will have the loop
                            If we are within the range for up, we will send W.
                            If we are within the range for down, we will send S.
                            If we are within the range for left, we will send A.
                            If we are within the range for right, we will send D.

Questions: 

1.       Do you think that there are any simple modifications to this idea that it might benefit from?

2.       Does this seem like something that you would enjoy playing with?
