stl files of the baseStand.stl and walabotCase.stl. Step 1: Obtain all of the hardware components listed above.To begin the project, the general hardware configuration will be created. It is the perfect combination of fun and hardware integration. This live battleship game with the 3D imaging power of the Walabot and the Amazon Alexa skill will be of epic proportions. The other player will act as the unseen enemy ship, choosing his ship’s hiding place and and the sector he will attack the same way as you but in a different room. Alexa will moderate the game, listening to your commands and giving instructions. Multiplayer: The Walabot will track your location in the battlefield sectors of your room.And, Alexa will be the unseen enemy ship, choosing her ship’s hiding place and the sector she will attack. Single Player: The Walabot will track your location in the battlefield sectors.The game will continue until one player has been sunk.Ī Walabot will work in tandem with an Echo Dot and Raspberry Pi in order to portray an epic naval battle where you can play against Alexa or against friends and family in other rooms of the house with the same hardware setup. The next turn will begin repeating the pattern of choosing your sector by standing in it and saying a sector you want to attack. The shell hits your ship, but your shot missed and hit the water. All the while, the enemy fires back! The player hears a whistling bombshell coming inbound - BOOM. With the crosshairs aligned on where you think the enemy is hiding, the gun fires! Your first mate, Alexa, will let you know if the scans say you hit the enemy. He can also say an enemy sector to attack. The player can take his turn by standing in, or moving around, his room to try and dodge an enemy attack. When the user steps into a compass sector with instructions from Alexa, the Walabot tracks their location. To start a game, the room is split into compass rose sectors - North, South, East, and West. When the Walabot is powered on, it captures the environment.
The Walabot is mounted on a stand facing the center of any room.
#PLAY BATTLESHIP ONLINE WITH A FRIEND SOFTWARE#
This project is intended to develop the connection between Walabot's sensing capabilities and Amazon Alexa’s interaction for home entertainment.Īny room can become a virtual naval war zone by simply saying, “Alexa play battleship.” Upon receiving the command, the software creates a turn-based battleship game where you are a ship Captain evading and firing rounds at an unseen enemy. When I saw the impeccable combination of the Amazon Echo and Walabot, I thought there couldn't be a better way to creatively splash some fun back into the game with the innovation of two amazing technologies. But, if we're being honest, calling out "B4" and placing a red or white marker in your command center can be a bit boring especially if you're trying to find the pesky patrol boat. Battleship is the classic board game you play to kill time and dominate your friends through naval tactical superiority.
