Handsign Arcade: play rock paper scissors on a beat.
Emoji cues fall down three lanes. You hit them by physically throwing šŖØ š āļø at the camera. The Lens reads your actual hand sign and shows you what it detected live, so a miss is never a mystery.
Keep hitting the lanes without dropping one and the COMBO kicks in!!
The idea: dance arcade, but on your phone, and your hands do the dancing. All down to testing your reflex š
The first idea that didn't work: I started with head nods and head shakes as
the input. Failed miserably. When your head moves to hit a cue, th cues move with it in frame, so you lose sight of the exact thing you're aiming at. Also nobody wants to look like they're head banging at their phone in public, so...
The second idea that didn't make the cut: music. It's a rhythm game with no
music, because syncing audio was harder than it was worth š„¹ So the rhythm is carried entirely by the falling cues. Visual, not audible, which means it plays fine on mute, which is how most people scroll anyway.
So much learned from this one. Built entirely in Easy Lens. Without further
ado, I present: Handsign Arcade ā„ļø
Best regards for this amazing challenge @Easy Lens and @Contra
Beat my score. Waiting for your challenge šŖ
Interesting and fun idea š
Thank you āŗļø

I built a TikTok machine before I ever opened TikTok
Confession: I've never posted a TikTok, and I've barely watched one (I'm a Youtube Shorts addict though š).
So naturally, I built a machine that makes them.
It's for thegoatdebate.io, my Messi vs Ronaldo GOAT debate site. The star is Papa Goat, a grumpy, deeply unimpressed goat who has heard your GOAT take before and didn't like it then either. š
How it works: you give it some football footage. It picks a take from a bank of about 150 sourced facts, and a local AI model writes Papa Goat's script. ElevenLabs gives him a voice, and a talking goat lands on top of the video. Out comes a vertical video that a human (me) watches before anything gets posted.
This week it made its first real videos.
For event videos, š„ typography carries the energy before the visuals catch up.
I use bold kinetic type to build anticipation - fast entrances, tight timing on beats, type that snaps with the music. It sets pace, cues excitement, and makes the countdown-to-stage feeling land before a single visual does.

Moshmallows Candy Slot
Moshmallows was one of the first game concepts where I was given significant creative freedom to explore and develop a wide range of
ideas. The project allowed me to experiment with bold visual directions, blending fun Sweet themes with metal/hard rock-inspired
design elements. The key focus of the game was the creation of a set of animated Marrshmallow characters that react to the player , along
with animated Icons and a heavy metal soundtrack to boo.
Bold art direction gives the game real personality.
