First Experiment


A simple experiment using XML files to find the average facing direction of the player. (Z-direction only)



I chose to look at the light sensing data feed here: https://pachube.com/feeds/35524

S.W.O.T Analysis:
Strengths - Fairly reliable data, unlikely to be too affected by unwanted entities. Easy to represent light variation in the environment.

Weaknesses - Stream is not operating very often and I suspect will be completely gone by the time the assignment is due.

Opportunities - An opportunity to understand the way lighting works to a higher degree in the Crysis environment

Threats - It may not have an easily identifiable maximum value which would be necessary to implement my idea in Crysis.
