Tellart Hacks Frogger for Maker Faire RI 2010

After last year’s Maker Pong fun in downtown Providence, we were psyched to get involved with this year’s Maker Faire– a yearly event designed to celebrate New England D.I.Y. culture. We decided to stick to the theme of mixed reality projection games, developing a custom WaterFire tribute to the classic Frogger Game. Players were invited to wear a helmet rigged with infrared LED’s which let them control a virtual frog trying to cross the treacherous WaterFire-themed street.

In the spirit of this Make Magazine-affiliated event, we are sharing our software that ran the game, along with some instructions – available for download here.
