Wow. So simple, but it looks like so much fun.

Now, here’s my idea of how’d you implement this one way:

Have multiple colored stickers (or some other tiny, colored and shaped visible marker). Each specific combo of shape and color represents a certain motion. Say you have a 2D drawing of a character. You put color+shape markers on his elbows, kness, shoulders, etc. (any joint or area of movement) to give the motion you want.

Scanning it in could be of the character first, then of the character and the markers on him, so the areas the sticker covers up won’t be invisible or left out.

This could be for anything, and you could extend it further, with more complex MotionMarkers. A triangles base is where the motion stops, and the point of it is where it closes, like say an elbow moving. The flat side of the triangle is facing the outside of the elbow, the pointy side, pointing in (at the body) is where the arm rotates at. so it moves like you would if you bent your arm up to your pecs from being in a straight, to the body, position.

OR

A gears game. where on screen, you have and start/object on one side, and a finish/objects destination on the other. You have to draw gears, chains, etc. to move the object. But you also have to add motion to the gears and chains you draw.

OR

You have a maze, going north, south, east, and west. You must send an object through the maze, to the end, where the objects destination is. To get through the maze, you must draw contraptions (physics enabled objects, like a see-saw, a spring board that can face up, left, and right, etc) to move your object to the end. But throughout each level, before you start, you are told to which contraptions you can use/draw, which expands as the levels progress and also get harder, so you’ll need to use each new contraption in each level.

Whaddya think? You can contact me if the small chance you like my ideas. I do. lol. Tell me what you think gEyes
