Halloween game development
Marshie Attacks: Halloween Interactive Driveway Activity
Some really cool game dev going on there. They used python, pygame, pysight, lasers, bedsheets and potato canons to create an interactive Halloween game!

I have to admit that while it might look like we used a potato canon due to the PVC, in fact we did not. That is just a hacked laser pointer inside a gun made out of PVC. Furthermore, the potato canons that I had stored at the farm in Wyoming have vanished, so now the family is spud-gun-less. Now I’m wondering if there is a good way to integrate actual spud0guns into a video game…

At any rate, its got me interested in doing crazy interactive games sometime 🙂 I think someone already mentioned it, but this would make for a pretty interesting pycon talk. Quite inspirational the way you hacked together those different components!

At your suggestion I put in a submission for PyCon. If they accept it I’ll be there with the game, guns, and no potatoes.

Don’t know if you’ll be there or not, but the talk got accepted at PyCon and I’ll be there with a bucket of laser pointers to give away.

I’ll be there – I’m quite excited to see your presentation 🙂
