The Paris “Computer Human Interaction 2013” game jam was very… different. Researchers are odd people, not at all like most jammers.

Anyway, we played around a bit with a heart-beat monitor. Or rather I made a prototype which worked with the keyboard using processing (first time, but pretty easy to pick up) while the others got the Arduino to work. This evening I’ve polished up the keyboard version a little to submit as my compo entry.

Yeah sue me: the game logic is all mine, with no external code or assets, and done in 48 hours. It’s also plenty minimalistic, and not unintentionally 😉

Not like this entry is going to win any medals, but I thought I’d put it up anyway: failures are just as important as successes, they teach us what not to do next time. As for what exactly it is that I shouldn’t do next time… well I think I may have to sleep on that 😛
