One player would press a button lighting the led, the player holding the game piece would then move according to the number of flashes, along their coordinate plain. moving along the x and y plains, the game peice progressed through the system 2 dimensionally. as the objective was to get the marble into a raised container, the z character was instructed to move up, x moved over, and z lowered the piece in.

Kieran, Jesse, Brendan
Create a projection.
Must use natural light somehow.
Outcome: (photos below)
Kieran initiated a motor via keyboard input which rotated a cardboard slat, and blocked out natural light projected onto a light sensor. The light sensor engaged an actuator, releasing a trebuchet-style catapult with a thumbtack placed at the end. The tack was thrown over two meters.
