Week 11 – Final Project Proposal

Horse Race

Concept: Historically, Kazakhs are nomadic people, migrating from one place to another every season of the year. Because of this, we have many national games and traditions connected with horse riding. I would like to connect my final project with one of the Kazakh national games called Båige, which means competition in horse riding. The people compete with each other in horse riding, so the winner is the person who comes first to the finish line. Throughout the game, there might be several barriers the equestrians should successfully overcome. In my game, I would like to make four lines with the appearing barriers. The user is going to be the equestrian on the horse, who should overcome the obstacles, which will speed up by the time. In addition to that, I would like to add the Kazakh national music as the background sound playing throughout the game. 

The technical implementation: On the p5.js screen, there are going to be four lines with the appearing obstacles and the image of the equestrian. In front of the user, there are going to be four squares, each representing the line of the game. I will stick the aluminum to the base of the figure of the equestrian, so that when the user taps the equestrian on the square, the aluminum connects the wires, completing the circuit. In other words, when the equestrian figure taps the first square, the first circuit is completed, indicating to the p5.js that the equestrian is on the first line.
