CL5 - CH6 - AI Space Battle Game

This activity sheet describes how to build a gesture-controlled space battle game using artificial intelligence in PictoBlox. Students will modify an existing rocketship game from a previous session to be controlled by hand gestures detected through a webcam, rather than arrow keys. The script is changed to detect if a hand is present using computer vision, and if so, set the rocketship's x and y position based on the position of the tip of the index finger. This allows the rocketship to be maneuvered in real-time through hand gestures detected by the webcam.

5. Add a turn-on video on stage with a 0% transparency block from the Human Body Detection palette
below the when green flag clicked block. Make the transparency 50%.
6. Now, as we need the details of our hand in real-time, we will be using analyse image for hand from
camera block from the Human Body Detection palette inside the forever block.
7. Next, we need to check whether our hand is detected or not. Thus, place an if () then block from
the Controls palette, below the if () then block
already present.
8. Add is hand detected block inside the if () then
block.
9. Add set x to () block from the Motion palette
within the if () then block, we just added.
10. Next, place the x position of () block from
the Human Body Detection palette into the set
x to () block, and select top of index finger from
the dropdown.
11. Add set y to () block and set the value inside it
to -140.
12. Hurray… Our game is finally ready! Click the
green flag and play!
