Hunted - Anna Lin, Jenny Wang, and Ellen Huang

ICAM 145B - Midterm Proposal

Jenny T. Wang and Anna Lin and Ellen Huang

Our thought is to create a simple first person shooter which allows people to actively participate in their own destruction. We will be using the Brightness Tracking code and modifying it so that a target follows the brightest thing on screen and hitting the mouse button or pressing a key will shoot bullets at the target. The finished product will require two "players", one who wears a flashlight and runs around in front of the camera, and another who sits at the computer screen and shoots.

There will be a gun at the bottom responding to the coordinates of the mouse, and the either the F button or the spacebar will allow the firing of the shot.

Socially, this game will open the topic of being desensitized to violence by the media in general and video games in particular by allowing a role-reversal and letting players experience a shooter game as a target rather than a hunter.
