My home made skateboard controller for Flash. Made for Digital Media class.
The skateboard sends data to processing which sends variables to Flash to control the game.

  • Is the whole game built in processing, or just the variable controllers?

    Nice idea, btw

  • The wiring board changes variables in processing to either on/off which then constantly broadcasts the variables over the computers loopback network. Flash picks those up and modifies it's own variables to go left/right etc.

    Took a while to get the two programs to play nice with each other. :D

  • Why don't you tape shoes to the board, take off the wheels and bearings, tape the trucks down and then you have a board that doesn't move. But for ollies and stuff, don't tape the front trucks. Work on it more. P

  • I tried only securing the back but the problem is when you do an ollie with the back trucks secured, the board wobbles all over the place in mid air as you try to balance on a single truck. And the skateboard is a crappy Warehouse one so that didn't really inspire safety either.

  • sucks ass,you turn with the board but you ollie with a button???

  • Nope. You jump when you hit a ramp. I was originally going to add another sensor that detected when you pushed on the back of the board but I ran out of time. Also, the board is really unstable when only balanced on 1 truck, it's only a cheap crappy $35NZ board anyway.

see all
