Stop
for a second and take a look at the image in this post. What you see is a backetball hoop and a nice, yet simple, 3D
animation of a simple looking basket ball game... but it doesn't stop there. In the bottom right of the screen is a
person. Slapping the ball. Literally. Yes this is the first (I think) major web Flash-based game centered on true human
interaction via web cam. PlayDoCam creator Andreas Rehnberg, which we
spoke of back in August, has taken his earlier idea to a new level and combined some Shockwave/Director ideas with
Flash 8 to create a very cool looking new basketball game in Flash. The game tracks the users hands and works like pong
to bounce a small ball into one of two hoops while avoiding absticles and trying to hit points on the way. All I can say
is very cool, and can't wait for the full version to come out next month. Head over to the official PlayDoJam site to watch the preview and drool.
