Description:
For our final controller design prototype, we decided to design it in the shape of a car. We did this because our game, "Buck Up and Drive", is an arcade racer, so you play as a car during gameplay. The mechanics of the controller are simple and intuitive. For movement, we used the accelerometer X input to move left and right. However, we plan to change this for the final product to a compass input, but the part has not arrived yet. For drifting, you turn a potentiometer to the right to drift, and to the left to stop drifting. We plan to work on drifting more since it's a little erratic and inconsistent. For tricks, you simply shake the controller to perform tricks while in the air. Lastly, we added a button that will pause and unpause the game, since this game can get very hectic. For the potentiometer and button, we haven't placed them in their respective areas on the controller yet. The potentiometer will go on the backside or top of the car, and the button will go under the hood, which will act as one large button.
Questions:
1. Do you like the accelerometer movement, or do you think the compass will be better/easier?
2. Do you think the potentiometer would work better on the back or top of the car?
