Summary

Ninja Shadow Warrior is a stand alone photo booth arcade game using the Kinect camera, computer and a hacked closet light button built into a custom game cabinet. The palace is under attack and the player must use his/her ninja magic to hide by “becoming” objects. The player must fill out the silhouette of a randomly chosen object from the ninja palace as accurately as possible. The game encourages face-to-face cooperative interaction through strategy, rather than rules, as multiple ninjas can fill out object silhouettes more accurately and thus achieve a higher score. The score achieved during a game in addition to the snapshot is posted on a website where it can be shared. http://ninjashadowwarrior-blog.tumblr.com/

The code is written in Processing, uses Shiffman’s Open Kinect Library .
