Premise

Develop a useful and interesting web application combining two or more JSON or XML web APIs.

Premise: Using an arduino, build a simple interactive machine that somehow involves audio whether that is input or output. This was a significanlty smaller project than the last one, and my idea was to detect notes made by whistling.

This is a writeup for my Physical Media Project 1 describing the taxonomies of the experience I intended to create. Since it was such a small project, this writeup will be equally small as there were not a lot of intended emotions beyond curiosity.

I recently heard about and played a game called Outer Wilds. It’s a free-to-play title described as an open-world adventure in space and it has already become one of my favorite games for how well it’s designed its experience.

For a course I’m in, we’ve been covering the topic of behaviour trees for AI in games. They are quite an interesting topic, and I was excited to implement them. However, I was disappointed to find all the most popular behaviour tree implementations in Unity3D cost >$60, which I was unwilling to pay. My professor also felt the same way, as he couldn’t find any free implementations either.

Check out Hecklebot on Github

For a little while on and off (mostly off) I’ve been working on a small project called Hecklebot for a friend of mine. It’s an IRC bot written in python meant to monitor and play some games for a MisterAtomBomb who recently picked up video game streaming on Twitch. Keep in mind he didn’t ask for this, my motivation was mostly just boredom instead.
