Course Project Ideas

The first idea is a game, more specifically an enhanced version of PacMan where the character would not only eat ghosts but also use special skills to make catch the ghosts or easily escape from them. The game would be a combination of PacMan, Mortal Kombat and Dragon Ball .. the last two being my favorite game and respectively tv series when I was a child.

The second idea refers to a translation application. It should be possible to take a picture of a text and than the application should extract the text from the picture using an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and post it in a TextEdit view for the user to modify it in case there are errors in the spelling of the text. Then the user should be able to select the language the text is written in and the language he wants the text to be translated into and send the text to google translate API using the internet connection from the phone. It should also display the translated text the google API sent back to the application.

The third idea is a beat sketch application. The user should be able the sketch a beat by using a certain number of pads on the screen of the device. He should be able to make changes when it comes to the tempo of the beat, the samples selected to play when the pads are touched and also to save the file as mp3. The user should also receive help when it comes to the timing part of the beat, meaning a special sound indicating the bar number he is on at the moment and also after he finishes recording a small part of the beat the app should play the recorded layers of the beat so the user hears what he composed. Below is a screen shot of what the application could look like (this is the screen shot of the iMaschine, the iPhone application Native Instruments released not a long time ago; this application is designed to work with Maschine, a Native Instruments product ):
