The name of my project is Magic Axolotl Academy. Check out the demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiF5McRtccM

It is a spell casting game where a player uses different hand movements to cast various spells (—, |, u, n, ⚡, and ♥) and move the main character. The main character is Kimchee the Axolotl. The main enemies are smog monsters because the biggest threat to axolotls are urbanization and pollution, threatening their environment. Enemies can be defeated by performing the correct order of spells displayed over the enemy when a line of sight is established between the alxolotl and a monster. The idea for the game is based on the 2016 and 2020 Google Doodle called Magic Cat Academy (https://www.google.com/doodles/halloween-2020).

To run the game, open the file "TermProjectGame.py" in Visual Studio and run the code. Make sure that this file is in the same folder as all of the .txt, .png, .jpg, .py, .pkl, and .h5 files provided.

Note: the hand tracking is set to detect blue gloves. Any blue object you can hold in your hand should work. Just make sure that there are no large bluish-purple objects in the rest of the camera's view (e.g. a blue shirt or large blue object in background). As long as the object is smaller than the object you want to track, it should be fine. If you do not have a blue object that works with the default settings, I have provided hsv min and max sliderbars that appear over the displayed video feed. You can adjust these to track any color of your choice.
