Have you ever played a game where your very life begins to blur and you feel as if time and space does not exist? This is what we have encapsulated in the revolutionary game of ARDSHOT. By combining the power of Arduino and Processing we have developed a mind altering experience similar to that of Space Invaders. By moving the tactile joystick along the X-axis you focus a Ball towards one other ball in unfamiliar space. Adjacent to the joystick a smooth, glossy red button awaits your touch. A slight press ejects a line out of your ball towards the other. If your skills persist and the stars align you will see the line collide with a sphere, and in that very moment, the spheres will multiply connected by a curve of complex mathematical precision, the Bézier. As your pulse skyrockets you begin to realize you have one minute to multiply the balls in space, focusing your shot and striving towards a complex result of multiple moving balls and curves. Warning, you may become lost in the constant loop of ARDSHOT as the black button pauses and resets the game.
Ardshot is inspired by some of the first arcade games in the 1970’s that influenced an entire generation. Our intention is to replicate the nativity and innocence embodied by these games. Thus, opening the portal to the virtual world we know today with conventions of analog, digital, design, and functional intelligence permeating our understanding of space and time.
