Concept:
For my final project, I want to create an interactive game that smoothly processes between the p5 sketch and Arduino and provides a realistic experience for users. I chose to create an interactive restaurant game/experience where the user is set in a kitchen with multiple sections, such as a food station, desert station, and coffee machine, and gets to choose a section and actually experience creating it as if it were real.
Inspiration:
I actually had multiple inspirations that helped me come up with this idea. Firstly, one of my options for my midterm project was an Emirati kitchen on p5, but I ended up choosing another one, so I thought it would be a good idea to use it for my final project. I also thought of many cooking games I used to play, such as Cooking Mama from my childhood, and Cooking Fever, which is more recent. Then, because I wanted it to feel more realistic, I came up with more interactive ideas.
Vision:
I have a specific vision for my final project that I wish to create if possible. Starting with the p5 sketch, I will have an aesthetic but colorful kitchen setup with around 3 different sections, and in each section there will be animations of the actions the user can perform. On the Arduino side, I would like to create a simple controller, such as arrow buttons or a joystick, to move between selections, and a push button for confirmation. I also want to include an ultrasonic sensor and create kitchen utensils where players can move in front of the sensor to finish the activity. I might also add LED lights of different colors to indicate the state of completion, such as red before starting, yellow during the process, and green when it is done.
