LeapLive - Leap to Live

I was playing on my Nintendo DS and there was this Super Mario Bros mini-game where there were random bombs appearing and you had to try to avoid them and survive as long as you can. I got the idea of making an arcade game where you have to try and survive as long as you can. LeapLive is an arcade game where you play as a box that is controlled using gestures captured by a LeapMotion unit. The goal of the game is to avoid hitting the random pieces that are flying in. An additional feature is that the color changes in the background depending on the z position, i.e. how close you are to the LeapMotion device. The Target User is anyone with a LeapMotion looking for a unique game to lift the mood. It is meant to be different from traditional games that are controlled by fingers, you control the player with your arm and hand. I am most proud of the base feature that breaks the raw data of vectors from the LeapMotion device and translates it in to a x and y translation on the screen.
