Revision as of 16:50, 8 July 2011
some info on microfluidics and on our microfluidic online game idea...
Hardware stuff we need:
- a USB I/O for driving 24 Volt solenoids (DIY or from national instruments)
- a cheap microscope/camera system: see [http://hackteria.org/?cat=15 link]
- a cheapo PC
- a microfluidic device (we might have some simple ones already that we could play with)
Software things to figure out:
- remote control of solenoids?
- piping video stream?
- latency issues?
- need active feedback between camera and PC to determine end of game, reset game, etc.
Games?:
we could either implement one player or a two player game. We should have a virtual clone of the game that players can play if the game is very popular (only one person can play the real microfluidic version at a time) Game should be relatively quick, last only a couple of minutes tops. Games should be challenging and provide room for improvement. Couple to a high-score, to award the grand-prize winner at the jamboree?
- tug of war...
- pong clone
- snake?
