Webcam Keepy-Uppy Worldcup game for The Netherlands released

Over the past couple days we’ve built a keepy-uppy game here at theFactor.e to celebrate the win of Holland in the Worldcup. Unfortunately it didn’t go our way and we came in second. So the game is now great to take your mind off the loss.

I used the great face recognition code Marilena. This awesome bit of AS3 code is based on some older work done in C: OpenCV. Once I knew where the face was I added a little bit of physics. Using 2d ball on ball collision I can make the ball bounce of your head in the right way. To see how these collisions work check this page.

Have fun playing the game. And for the non-Dutch speaking visitors just click ‘webcam’ to play with your webcam (duh) and ‘muis’ to play with your mouse. Play the theFactor.e Keepy Uppy game here.

WordPress blog crash…

3 weeks ago I got a message from the people that host my site. During a backup procedure of the server they lost power. Everything went wrong that could go wrong which resulted in both backups being corrupt. What that meant for me was that my whole blog was gone…

That’ll teach me to make backups from my database. Luckily Google cache helped me out retrieving a lot of posts. I’ve put most of the blog back together but unfortunately you can’t re-date a new blog post with WordPress so all the links that were on other site to my blog are now broken. I’m rebuilding some of the pages on their original links. Like the link that Mario Klingemann made to my Game of Life
