Punching Hero

This better be music based. Audio and lights will play the rhythm to punch and kick. I can imagine it: The rhythm of Eye of the Tiger's intro plays and then the actual song starts playing. That's when you gotta punch in time with it. Then simpler rhythms will play throughout the song, and you copy after you hear them.

Ideas in making it:
Instead of putting lights in a punching bag only for them to break, use a projector. There will be 3 big red lights flashing at different times. They'll each cover one section of the bag to hit: top, middle and bottom. I figured three big lights would suit because the bag will move a bit. When the whole bag lights up blue, that means "kick".

  1. Sounds good, however have you thought of a way of keeping track of scores and stuff? Like in order to allow for improvement and all the individual should have some sort of score to beat, the next time round.

  2. Hugh's button counting program with extras. Sounds tough, but I know nothing about programming.

  3. Looks great!
    for programming, see if you can get sample code for flash, or look into osculator (mac) or glovepie (win) or autoit and automate it...
