American Idol® Elimination Game
A few weeks ago we were contracted to build
http://idolelimination.americanidol.com. The object, to let someone possibly win one million dollars if they could predict the exact elimination sequence of the final 24 American Idol® hopefulls.
The proccess is like this:
Person buys Nestlé candy bar with the American Idol® logo on it. Inside the wrapper is a game code.
Person goes to the site and signs up for a free account, logs in and enters the code into their codebank. There is no limit to the amount of codes they can store but can only create one new bracket per email address per code per day.
Person creates a new bracket in the American Idol® Elimination Flash Game and saves it. There is a time window in witch the person can come back and make edits to the bracket.
Process is simple enough. Developing, as you can imagine was a little more involved. Screenshots here.

Actionscript Motion Tracking part 2
So this weekend I decided to make something somewhat useful with my AS3 motion tracking. A kids game. I have two little boys. It’s simple but they had a blast. First off I used a projector to put it up on the wall so the kids could interact with their full bodies. It’s 3D twister. I will get some video of that soon. For now here is a basic video.
The object is to touch the letter given on the big red ball without touching other balls which results in loosing a point. Perfect score is 10. None of us achieved this but we did get a decent yoga style workout. See it on YouTube.
