I help clients go faster for less using serverless technologies.
I haven’t been able to stop playing around with my Myo armband since I got my hands on it this week. In truth it’s ruined a few of my plans for the weekend, but boy it’s been fun trying to get the Myo working with various apps and games.
Elm has also piqued my interest lately, so what better way to play with the Myo than to build a game in Elm that is best played using gestures? And along comes Thunder Cow, a light-hearted game where you use the fist and fingersSpread postures to start and stop a moving arrow. The goal is to time your release so that the arrow stops in the red zone.
To play using the Myo armband you also need to add this Lua script into your Myo Script Manager. After you’ve added the script, head over here to give it a go.
The Elm source code for the game is available here. There is no native support for sound in Elm, so I had to resort to using Elm’s JS interop capabilities to invoke Javascript functions to play the mp3 files.
