The work we all did last week was a complete flash back for me. I believe i was the only one to who have taken the Mario Modding class a couple years ago but the stuff we learned there was very similar to what we are doing now.
Its crazy tot think that hardware hasn’t changed that much since the 1980s, you can basically do the same hardware mod to the mouse that you could do the 1985 NES controller. With a soldering iron, a breadboard,and an ardiuno you could completely change the game play of your game. But personally i don’t think i will attach my modded controller to my final project. I want my game to be mind blowing all by itself.
I will love to see the ideas people come up with for their controller/ game mod. I might be just lacking in creativity but i feel modding a mouse doesn’t have that much potential compared to an actual video game controller but i could be wrong.
This is my my controller form the Mario mod class.
