# Ghost Land
## About
Real life shooter game. The goal of the game is to shoot as many ghosts before they reach the house.
The game scene is projected on the wall, and a ball is used to shoot. The ball is tracked using a kinect.
The collision point of the ball with the wall is the shot.
[Video here](https://youtu.be/Psrh_SsXb38).
## Aim
The aim of the game is to improve hand-eye coordination and provide a fun way to exercise.
## Technologies
The challange was to build an "alive" game using the benefits of modern technologies like:
* projector/beamer
* Kinect
* [Processing](https://processing.org/)
* WebSockets
* [Phaser](http://phaser.io)
## Requirements
* Kinect (first generation)
* Processing 2.x
* SimpleOpenNi
* websocketP5
* blobscanner
* Google Chrome 45
* Phaser 2.4.3
## How it works
1. Open the web page in browser and project it on the wall
* Run the processing sketch
* In opened window click on the corners of projected image. Corners order is top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left
* A rectangle should appear. It means that depth image processing started
* Focus on browser (Phaser stops if it is not focused). If game music is playing then everything is ok.
* Throw the ball to the wall
* Have fun!
## Technical problems that still have to be solved
* Collision point is not perfect. Right now it is computed by taking the fartherst detected point. A better approach would be to compute ball trajectory and get the intersetion with the wall
* Projected points are not perfectly matched with game rectangle. You can see in video (borrom-right corner) that red circle (collision point detected by Kinect) and white circle (point in game) are shifted. A affine transformation should solve this problem much better.
