"Wulfy" eye sequence demo
11 years ago
General
So not only was putting the "Wulfy" together a fun project, but I gave me an excuse to start playing around with installing processors into some of my projects. The current setup will blink the eyes with various patterns I've titled "Boot Sequence", "A-Code Message", "M-Code Message", and "Mixed Message" and they can trigger randomly on their own (or I can tap a button to force one to play).
The current source code is posted here, but I'm sure what people would want to know is what the "Messages" say. For the curious,
the "A-Code" message is: 0x49, 0x54, 0x27, 0x53, 0x20, 0x4D, 0x45
the "M-Code" message is: 0x51, 0xD7, 0x77, 0x74, 0x54, 0x07, 0x71
The two messages use different encoding schemes. One shouldn't be too hard for people to guess, but the other... I'll give a hint that the name is important and to think of HOW I'm sending the message.
I know what will really sell the character is how I move. Walking around will be fairly slow & deliberate with a mix of Baymax, C-3P0, and Robocop depending on the mood & situation. But when I'm standing, its going to be bigger, broader motions of the arms & head (much like a fixed location anamatronic) that will "snap" into various key-frame poses (with small shakes as the limbs "bounce" into place). And of course, jump scare poses & actions. :D I AM going to make sure that I only attempt scares at people who are aware of me, they are aware of me being aware of them, and they are willing for me to "attack".
It's gonna be fun to see how people react. He should be making his debut at Arizona Fan Fest on Friday, Dec 12th & Sunday, Dec 14th (I'm skipping Saturday because that is Tucson Steampunk Society's 3rd Annual Dickens Tea that I'll be at instead).
