Coding 4 Fun Projects Rev9 http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/projects/rss en Maelstrom

Introduced at //build/ 2012, Maelstrom is Coding4Fun's latest creation.  Step up to the podium and battle against your opponent in full-on stereoscopic 3D!  Learn how it was made here.

How to Play

Each player stands at a podium containing a 27" touch-screen, 2 cameras mounted side-by-side for stereoscopic 3D, a rumble floor, and LED lighting.  After some smack-talking to each other, players tap their screen to begin.  After the countdown, a ball is launched into the arena.  Players move their fingers around on the touch-screen to move the paddle in the 3D arena and return their opponent's volley.  If the ball hits one of the glowing blue tiles, it will split into a maelstrom of 3 separate balls which will be tricky to handle.  A player can also charge up their paddle by moving it quickly across the screen to send the ball flying back at their opponent in a quick burst.  The first to score 7 points wins!  If you can imagine what "ridiculously over-engineered 3D Pong" might look like, you can imagine Maelstrom!

The Hardware

Each game podium contains a Lenovo A720 27" touch screen PC used to control the player's paddle.  Lighting along the side rails reacts to the gameplay.  Additionally, the platform under each player's feet rumbles thanks to a Sparkfun MP3 Trigger and bass boosters controlled with a Netduino Plus.  The game is projected to a huge screen with an Optoma GT750E 3D projector and 3D shutter glasses.  Each podium also contains two Axis M1014 MJPEG cameras pointed at the player to complete the 3D experience.

The Software

The game is a Windows Store DirectX 11.1 game written in C++.  DX11.1 provides full stereoscopic 3D support for any 3D-capable display device, be it a projector, an LCD TV, or anything else.

The game controller is a C# / XAML Windows Store application which connects to the "game console" via a standard socket connection.  The Netduino Plus corrdinates all of the hardware with a C# .NET Micro Framework application.  All of these tie together into a seamless multiplayer experience!

Source code and an article on how we built it all will be coming soon on Coding4Fun...

Video

You can find a very quick video of the game being played at //build/ 2012 here.

The OBD-II Manager project is the OBD-II sub-system and instrument cluster application from the Project Detroit Mustang we built with West Coast Customs.  If you're not familiar with this project, you can find out more about it here and here.

OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics.  In the world of cars, this can be thought of as the computer which has a variety of data points which can be queried, such as speed, fuel level, and even trouble codes that relate to the check engine light.  If you've ever taken your car in for service, your service center has hooked up the car to a computer via the OBD port to get the status of the car and what may not be working properly. 

This project contains a library you can use to integrate OBD data into your application, as well as a modified version of the actual Instrument Cluster application used in the Project Detroit car which shows how the library can be used.

At the SXSW Interactive Opening Party hosted by Frog Design and Microsoft, the Coding4Fun team has unveiled their latest invention, BoxingBots!

With BoxingBots you are the controller except this time, forget the screen. You’re controlling a 6-foot tall metal robot that’s trying to punch out your opponent’s 6-foot tall machine. It’s Real Steel in real time.

Video Demo

Watch Laura Foy's video of the BoxingBots in action!

BoxingBots combines Kinect’s motion sensing technology with pneumatic robots in a 6-foot square ring. Two players face off to try to knock each other’s blocks off.

Each robot has

  • 1 On-board laptop PC
  • 70 programmatic LEDs in the head and chest controlled by a Phidgets LED controller board
  • 2 2.5 gallon tanks of compressed air @ 150 PSI
  • 8 12-volt 17amp batteries
  • 2 Roboteq motor controllers that power the four omni-directional wheels
  • 2 5" stroke cylinders that punches/retracts the arms
  • 1 6' stroke cylinder that lifts the head when the robot is knocked out
  • 2 button switches on the chest that are triggered by punches and a Phidget 8/8/8 interface board that controls the relays and buttons switches

 

How gameplay happens

  • Each robot's on-board PC receive commands over the network from the Admin PC for movement, punches, score, etc
  • Each player stands in front of a Kinect for Windows-enabled PC that interprets their gestures (punch, move in a direction, strafe, rotate) and sends that as a command to the Admin PC
  • The Admin PC manages the game, including pausing, reset, starting, sending commands to the robots and receiving damage data from the robots when the robot has been punched

I figured the easiest way to accomplish this was by using a network/IP camera capable of sending a Motion-JPEG stream, which can be easily decoded and displayed that can display a JPEG image. Thus, this library was born.
