Silhouette Showdown, a game in progress.
Fill in the shape as much as possible using the physical space of your body. Using Processing and a generic webcam, these are the shots from our prototype test today. Stoked!!
It will be a team battle, the players are shown a silhouette on a screen, and then each team has a turn at trying to create the shadow shape as best they can. Winners will be judged by the percentage covered. Features include: different shape categories; different play types like speed mode, campaign mode, survival mode; a countdown timer to take the photo for you; highscores for each shape.
