DJ Hero looks much harder.
On screen you need to follow the crossfader line, detect the notes and scratch arrows, all of them on top of each others.
On the control side you need to control the crossfader, turntable and buttons, and the buttons move with the turntable.
Plus the effect knob, but IIRC, it isn't required, but it is important for scoring. But since the Guitar Hero robot doesn't use the star power, I think it can be overlooked.
Maybe an easier target would be BeatMania IIDX. It is actually a ridiculously hard game when played by a human, but the screen is very clean and you just have to press 7 button and move the turntable back and forth (or use the auto-scratch if that's a problem).
- jmfldn 6y agoYeah DJ Hero would be insanely hard to do, the machine vision part would be tricker for all the reasons you suggested. Simulating the scratch dynamics from the peripheral would be tricky too since it's not just a binary switch as far as the game goes but has certain tolerances which you'd need to calibrate. Effects dial you could ignore but I guess it would be easy enough to send a signal emulating that. Agree that Beatmania would be amazing as a challenge and could build on the Jon Bot Jovi design!
- nik12795 6y agoWasn't too familiar with DJ Hero. Took a look... dang. That would be an interesting and challenging project!
