Colorful Christmas

Sleigh is after its gifts

Inspiration

We originally wanted to control the game through hand movements but because of technical issues we couldn't and switched to color detection.

What it does

You scroll a color bar on the webcam and it controls the arrows of the keyboard to control a game that we created on flowlab with a sleigh that collects gifts!

How we built it

We created a Christmas themed game on workflow and then we made a software on Java that controls the game by using the camera to detect colors. Each color is related to a arrow key (red,green,blue,yellow).

Challenges we ran into

At first we couldn't install OpenCv and Qt on Linux, then we couldn't work with C++ and Linux and started working it with Java instead and it worked.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We worked together as a team and we had a lot of fun. We divided the work and moved on as efficiently as we could.

What we learned

~ To work as a team ~ That sometimes installing libraries and software as OpenCv and Qt might be more harder than expected. ~ Sometimes you have to just let go and think of a different approach to a problem (we changed from C++ to Java).
