The study 7’s main idea is taken from my previous study, which is using sound to control the system, and I want to combine this idea with “game”, thus I create the maze game and using the clap sound to control the character’s movement. To satisfy using clap sound to make the character’s movements, I use the number of clapping to control the up, down, left and right — clapping once = left, clapping twice = right, clapping third time = up and clapping fourth = down.
This time I faced a big challenge on the technical creating process. As the original idea is saying specific words to make the movements, the “aka.listen” is needed. However it did not work and Camille and me gave up after trying many times. In that case Camille helped me to come up with the new idea which is controlling system with clapping sound, and also introduced me the new technology “counter” and “inc, dec”, those were perfectly differentiated the number of clapping times and send the message as up, down, left and right. Additionally mainly with Camille’s help, I successfully completed my study 7.
