Final Team 22 - Scaffoldig Progress Update

Our controller that we are looking to make allows you to feel like the as if you have more control over what the Monkey Ball characters do in game, as you are holding a controller that simulates the basic platform they move around on in the game. Our controller will be composed of a rectangular board with 4 small walls around its edges forming an open-lidded box. This is to help keep the physical ball from rolling off of the board while it is being used for gameplay. This unique controller mirrors the top down view of the levels seen in the game and gives the player more leverage and understanding of the movement and physics rather than if they were using a joystick to play the game. Our controller will allow players to tilt the world with a more controlled movement as they can directly see how their actions control which direction the ball will move around. As opposed to a standard controller, playing the game with our unique controller becomes a fun and challenging experience to play the game.
