Stickman!!! FIGHT!!!
openFrameworks Programmer

Stickman! FIGHT!!! is a game made for getting out your aggression with friends without actually injuring anyone. Jason Aston and I used openFrameworks to put everything together and a Kinect to do the real brunt of the work. Using the Kinect's skeleton tracking abilities made creating this game a much simpler task than without it.
