Here is the discussion forum for this part of the course. Please either post your comments/observations/questions or share your creations.

Here are some suggestions for discussion topics and an optional project:

SUGGESTED TOPICS

• The gamepad API can also be used for serious applications. In our laboratory we remote control a mobile robot with a gamepad and a P2P connection using the WebRTC API. Do you know other applications or demos on the web that use the gamepad API?
• If you write a nice demo or find any interesting tools relating to the gamepad API, please share in the forum!

Optional project

Have a go at improving the last example:

• Add gamepad support if you have a gamepad or joystick
• Make the canvas bigger, add a background if you like (remember you can do this using CSS, or draw something on the whole canvas area instead of clearing it),
• Improve the appearance of the monster, try animating parts of it,
• Try to make it “follow” the mouse,
• Start adding sound effects using skills you learned in Week 1…
• etc.

Feel free to experiment and be creative. When attempting more complex ideas, consider collaborating with friends you’ve made in the Discussions.
