Prac Session

For this week's prac session, I just continued with the controller prototype. The idea for the controller has been completely changed from the original idea. The controller will consist of 4 buttons (left, right, up and down) and a puppet glove for the user. In able to control the player, the user has to wear the glove and bite the specific buttons. The buttons will be lined with foil and the mouth of the puppet will also be lined with foil.
