The goal of the project was to create an unorthodox game controller compatible with web games and/or other desktop games. We decided that we wanted a controller that required two people to use. To accommodate this unorthodox style of controller, we used an unorthodox object- a Batmobile toy, sourced by Giovanni. Using this Batmobile we decided to use three switches to replicate separate inputs, a up, left and right arrow.
The most intricate part of the project was the makecode, as we tried different inputs with tilts and shakes. This did not prove effective, and we switched to the alligator pins and switches. We attached these to the Batmobile chassis, and demo'd a variety of games before settling on a Snake 3D game on Coolmath.
Here is a video of the controller in action:
Also listed is the code used for the controller:
