Project Proposals

[I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures.]

1st idea: Starry Audio Visualizer
I wanted to make a physical audio visualizer using Arduino and multiple LED lights. The LED lights would be stored inside semi-transparent hand-made stars, which would individually light up according to noise input.

Partially inspired by these:

This is a cube made up of LED lights controlled by arduino. It is an interesting visualizer for 3D motion and objects. It is simple but effective.

This is a music visualizer made using Processing. Its display is also 3D. The white on black background makes the string of dots seem to glow, which reminds me of the night sky.

2nd idea: continuing Kimpi (game)
.. With enemies to kill, and overhead map in corner to show the enemies positions.

I realized a big part of the concept is actually very similar to this game:

Differences are that in this game, player is supposed to avoid obstacles, whereas Kimpi should kill enemies as well as avoid them. The movement of this game is also linear, but Kimpi should be able to go in circles, theoretically.
