Week 9: Nov 2, 2022 
Decided to work together with Long from Tom’s class.

A game box

which lets players physically control the joystick, sliders, buttons, and keys in p5.js sketch.

Idea by Long L.

Items needed

toggle switch

slide potentiometers

push buttons

keypads (numbers only)

joystick

Goal

choosing the materials: sliders, switches, buttons, joystick(s) and keypad. 
The physical interaction parts can be heavy?, made out of metal(brass, etc.) and durable.

Color theme

1) off-white + retro style colors if plastic is chosen.
2) hard wood & brass  prefer.
