Final Project - SnakeCharmer - Week 1

SnakeCharmer

For my final product, I will combine two classic videogames to create a new game with an interesting user experience. I will combine the retro arcade game "Snake" with the more modern dancing game "Dance Dance Revolution (DDR)" to create a truly unique interaction. 

The snake's movement will be controlled with the DDR pad instead of a keyboard. I will emulate a DDR pad (as shown above) with 4 foot pedals that I am buying from sparkfun. I will create the actual snake game in processing. 

•The intended audience is everyone!

•The project will not technically satisfy an existing need. It is intended to be fun. 

•The only parts I need besides the basic Arduino stuff is the foot pedals, which are pretty cheep. 

•I will be using Arduino and Processing.

•I have no electronics background outside of this class, and have taken the first two introductory programming classes at NYU.

Thanks!
