Hey guys, I made another really basic game using just a servo and two buttons. Here is the vid, let me know what you think:
Hmmm. I have a servo that I've been wondering what to do with. I think I've found a use(less) for it.
Ha! Funky. It's pretty simplistic though, try adding other game elements maybe?
Have you seen the arduino controlled labyrinth game? Pretty much the same thing.
Here is some more information about the Arduino Controlled Labyrinth Game. We took two of our labyrinths to the Missouri State Fair's Show-Me Robots day. You can find a video on this web page. Make:KC at the Missouri State Fair | Make: KC
Most of the video is of our larger Arduino controlled 3D Golf Labyrinth but if you wait until 2:03 into the video you can see the wooden labyrinth controlled by a simulated joystick controlled from the Processing Language. I have more written up about using processing on DIY Robotics Lab blog. Joystick Simulation with Processing | DIY Robotics Lab

@someoneknows:
face to palm connection has been made. I was thinking of making an arduino controlled servo-powered marble labyrinth game like you did, because i thought it would be original. Turns out, there's no such ting as an original idea =P
still going to go thorough with the project, though, because i started already.
Ass for Jef DiMarco, i actually made my own version of your game today (hastily) to show my engineering teacher that i have recently learned how to control servos. Neat stuff.

Ehem... typo I hope? :
I like it. The simplest of design and effort can sometimes make for a satisfying game.
Here's a suggestion: Change the input system to various different sensors and see how the game changes, light sensors (or ONE), accelerometer, or pressure sensor, etc.
First change I would make is to use a pot for the user interface instead of two pushbuttons.

Ehem... typo I hope? Roll Eyes
Whoops, sorry for the typo. But i agree with lefty on this one, i used potentiometers to control my servos; it seemed... cleaner. Then i experimented with an accelerometer, gyro, and whatever else analog output sensor I could find
