Snow Surface: A Multi-touch Game Using Microsoft PixelSense

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8867))

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a simple and entertaining game, developed for the Microsoft PixelSense platform. Snow Surface, was developed in an agile way and the result is an easy and fun game, which proved to take only a few seconds to learn. Snow Surface demonstrates the multi-touch and multi-user features of the PixelSense platform. More graphical effects and animations as well as more going-ons and functionalities in the actual game could improve the user-experience and make the game more fun.
