What it does
Tracks your hand gestures so that you can aim at and shoot LEDs. Your enemies shoot back, but you have a chance to block using a vertical hand gesture. You have three lives and the game ends when you run out.
How I built it
Built with Leap Motion, python, and an arduino. We used a cardboard box to mount the LEDs and arduino. We built the software with the Leap Python SDK, PySerial, and Arduino.
Challenges I ran into
None of us had ever worked with the Leap and it was our first hackathon, so we had to figure it out as we went. We spent many hours figuring out how to interface the leap motion with the arduino. The Leap developer docs are somewhat out of date, so it was hard to find relevant information. We settled with python and pyserial.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We were able to create a working game despite having never used the Leap Motion before, and a pretty cool one too!
What I learned
I learned a lot about the Leap developer kit and Arduino.
