Scaffolding: Progress Review: Team 23

Our custom Golf It controller is designed to recreate the game’s core mechanics in a simple, intuitive, and physically engaging way. The controller visually resembles a joystick that only moves forward and backward, allowing players to pull it back to build power just like drawing the mouse in the game. By measuring both the distance of the pull and the speed of the release, the controller translates real physical motion into the swing strength used in Golf It. Instead of using a rotation wheel, the controller includes a side‑mounted potentiometer that responds to slight tilts left or right. This lets players adjust their aim by gently shifting the controller, mirroring the game’s camera rotation in a more natural way. We chose this design because it is easy to understand, accessible for any player, and avoids unnecessary complexity while still providing satisfying physical movement.
