1. Principles and practices

This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.

Game idea

Explanation

Stoneball is a two to five player game. Every player starts with a number of total Points and the goal is to reach zero. There are two types of goals: movable ones and fixed ones. The shooting device itself is rotatable and includes a rubberband. At the end of the board, there is a display that shows the points. If you shoot through a movable goal, your points double or triple. This happens by either pressing a button at the side or automatically trough light barriers - I’m not sure which method I will pursue yet.

Research

I got the idea from similar games called “Flitzpuck” and “Dutch Shuffleboard”.
