Stick Fighters
Finally for the show i decided to make a controller for the flash game i made called stick fighters. I finalized on making real stick figures around 12 inches in height. The body was made up of foam core. I cut 3 layers of the foam core in the shape of a stick figure with the middle layer hollowed out to accomodate the wiring. The face and the body was made conductive with wire mesh and the face was connected to the UP arrow key for one and W key on the other on the key board emulator. The hands and legs of the stick figure was made conductive with aluminum foil and connected to ground on the keyboard emulator.
When the hand ( ground) of one figure makes contact with the face of the orher stick figure the circuit is closed and a punch action occurs on the screen. Similarly when the leg (ground) make contact with the body the kick circuit is closed and a kick action occurs on the screen. When a stick figure gets punched or kicked the health bar goes down and at the end eventually once one player loses all the health they lose.
