Inspired by the Nokia mobile phone game 'Snake', three users control individual remote controlled cars within an enclosed area. Each car trails a snake like tail projected from a projector mounted above. The player must survive as long as possible without colliding with their own, or other players tails.
Using Max/MSP, our group, lead by myself, designed and constructed a working exhibit to display at Rave On Air 2008. Here some images and video of user testing and development.
Winners names are added to the play surface as a reward. The more a player wins, the larger their name will appear. This acts as a 'floor of fame' and a record of how many people have played.
