My project involves the fact that cat videos have basically invaded youtube. You move around a cat paw with a controller. Even though you are controlling it the cat is “starting” cat related videos. It’s like the cats are taking over. If you start all of the videos the screen will fill with pawprints and you will get the message that cat videos and images are all over.

I put in audio, but the video playing is still being extremely glitchy. The paw moves using the D-pad input it gets from processing, and it starts a video if the paw overlaps where the video would be. If you stop moving after one starts it will continue, but if you keep moving around the videos tend to crash and glitch out eventually (often rather quickly). I tried many different things and could not get this fix. Audio has been added, and the audio of the latest video you started playing will play. For some reason when the videos load it plays a few seconds of audio from all the videos together. I could not get rid of this, but it is kind of an interesting introduction to the interactive that follows. If you move the paw to all the videos, a few seconds after the last starts (if it doesn’t freeze and throw a random exception by then) the screen will fill with cat paws giving the message that cat videos and images are everywhere. Cat2 contains the code without videos to show what the ending should look like. Cat4 has the audio and video but will likely freeze before the ending is reached. I could not get a video with sound because camtasia in the labs was throwing errors related to not being able to get the sound from my computer. I tried loading the XBox360 controller driver onto my machine so I could record it on my mac, but I could not get controller input to work on my computer.

Here is a video taken on my phone that shows me pressing the dpad on the XBox controller and the program running until a video crashes:

Here is a video without the controller that shows the remainign two videos starting up:
video2

Here is a video of how the program should end, using the version I had before the cat videos were put in:

Here is audio I put together to show an example of how it could have sounded:
