ofxGame Engine Using Kinect and openFrameworks 007


Submitted by Jared; July 26, 2011
Ever wonder how these super talented guys manage to make their very own games for the kinect using things like Processing and Unity 3D? Well now's your chance to take a sneak peak behind the scenes of Patricio Gonzalez Vivo's ofxGame engine for openFramewroks 007. The video is where all the "meat and potatoes" per say can be found but I'd just like to chyme in with my own two cents and say that I love the art style and the way the character is controlled using simple gestures like changing directions with your legs and jumping over obstacles by, well…..jumping. Patricio has been featured on kinect-hacks many times in the past so expect a lot more from this very talented individual. Feel free to contribute to the project as Patricio has added ofxGame to GitHub located HERE. Be sure to check out the video below as well to see the fledgling game in action.
