For one of our class projects, we were tasked with creating something to help physically disabled students that are a part of the Campus School at Boston College. The students at the Campus School really like playing video games, but there are not many games that are handicap accessible enough for them to play. I was inspired to create an Accessible Brick Breaker game for them, with the controller being a big "brick" which allows students to control which way the paddle on the screen moves. The brick controller has two ways of controlling the paddle so that students can choose which to use depending on their physical abilities. Students can use touch sensors or they can insert their switch controls (special buttons that all students at the Campus School have) to control the paddle. The brick also reinforces students through light and noise as a way of helping students understand how their actions control the game.
Check out this Instructable that I made that shows you how to code and build an accessible game of your own! If you are interested, click here to download the code used to create the controller for this project, and click here to download the code used to create the Accessible Brick Breaker game.
