#Asteroid Field

Video: http://vimeo.com/89228444

An interactive retro-style sound game, created as a project for the Creative Coding Jam, March 2014, Berlin, Germany.

The look of the game is stylised after the popular game Asteroids. However, in this “game” you can add gravitational centres to space that will produce sounds when the asteroids pass by.

This was a one-day project that we plan to develop further, as we still have many ideas.

Ideas:

• Our canvas has visible vectors that act as wind.
• The wind moves particles.
• We drop the particles in the screen with our mouse.
• We also drop circles of different sizes.
• When the particle is inside the circle, it produces sound.
• Processing sends the distance to the center of the circle to SuperCollider as a 0..1 float value. SuperCollider uses this distance to decide the pitch and volume.
• We could add particle creator objects and particle destructor objects. It would be nice to drag the forces and emmitters, destroyers.
• The look should be a bit like asteroids (retro look). White lines on black background.
