| # | Partners | Title | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eric Miller | Rodrigo Souza | MaKey MaKey Extravaganza | Rodrigo and I are certainly still in the beginning phases of the project but our general plan is build a MaKey MaKey instrument using a variety of sounds (and potentially multiple boards) that may or may not incorporate some of Rodrigo’s expertise in engineering (for example, there may be lights or moving parts). | |
| 2 | Shannon Nugent | Mirza Garcia | Hannah Ewing | Pencil Code A Thousand Years Remix | We will be remixing A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. |
| 3 | Justin DeJoy | Kevin Goddu | Random Improvisation | We plan to make two MaKey MaKey instruments that interact with scratch. One will be a randomizing groove/harmony machine that will create and change premade harmonies and grooves at random using what we learned in class on randomization. The other will be a more traditional MaKey MaKey instrument that plays a set of notes. The notes and/or timbre will change with the randomization of the groove/harmony and the goal is to improvise with it. It is almost like a musical instrument and a game. | |
| 4 | Yusuf Mulyo | Eduardo Pozo | ScratchMan | Recreating Pacman using scratch with MaKey MaKey board. | |
| 5 | Brad Swenson | Kyle Elardo | Mohd Anwar | Pencil code stuff | Our team is planning on creating an interesting composition in Pencil Code. |
| 6 | Brian Edson | Alex Casperson | Down to the Wire | We want to make a wire-loop game, but with a twist. We will tell Scratch that, when the loop is lifted from the starting point, the music starts. If the loop touches the wire, it will make a raw note noise of some sort. We will set a time limit to increase urgency for the player. We will have a counter that says how many times the player touched the loop to the wire. If the player completes the wire path and touches the base at the end, then victory music will play. If the player either runs out of time or hits the wire too many times, some type of defeated music will play. | |
| 7 | Daniel Lee | John McManus | So Much Love | We intend to code a choral arrangement of the song So Much Love by The Rocket Summer using Pencil Code. I have provided a link to the original song below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DPNGGiZxVI |
|
| 8 | Martha Robertson | Dylan Wetherald | Tyler McMillan | Makey Makey Revolution (or MMR) | We are planning to create a music game similar to Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero with the Makey Makey. Four arrows will be used to make different tones when hit. There will be a basic backing track playing throughout and when they miss or hit notes different sounds will play. There will be a scoring system. |
| 9 | Lauren Ciccarelli | Andrew Cornish | Mash-Up Mix-Up | Andrew and I are planning to make an interactive Scratch program that allows the user to mix up their own mash-up by clicking on different sprites. We would program several sprites to play sections of different pop songs using the concepts we learned in class. Then we would program each of these sprites to play the section of the pop song when clicked so that the students can create their own mash up. | |
| 10 | Mia Carriuolo | Christian Hernandez | John Kelley | coding creative covers | We are planning to take a popular song and change the style, making it more intricate but keeping a recognizable tune in Pencil Code, using the ABC notation program and trying to manipulate the coding to do things instead of just copying Jesse’s code. |
| 11 | Matthew Hart | Max Nelson | Matt and Max's wonderful creation | We are planning on implementing the Makey Makey board to create an interesting instrument. We want to make something that will involve every aspect of the Makey Makey and scratch to create an instrument that we would not have previously been able to create. We are looking into involving large macro movement into the creation such as making some sort of instrument that will allow the user to play "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and toes" by just touching those body parts, while eliminating unwieldy wires running everywhere. | |
| 12 | Michael Zajac | Reagan McCann | The Pencil-tainer | Reagan and I are looking to put Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" into ABC notation to play for our presentation. We are discussing adding a rhythmic back-track of percussion for the final repeat. | |
| 13 | Gregory James Caldwell Jr. | Takyiu Lo | Zachary SL Wong | MusicalPong |
Using Scratch we plan to implement pong, but jazz it up with various musical features. These features will be implemented via concepts we learned during the course. Examples of a simple pong can be played at: http://www.ponggame.org/. The project can also be expanded easily to work with a Makey Makey board. |
| 14 | Becca Crivello | Chris Kelleher | Makey Makey Loopy Loopy | We plan to have two Makey Makey’s set up (on two laptops) and will use Scratch to perform an arrangement. The Makey Makey's will loop layering parts while we sing the melody. |
