Pressure Project #2

In this pressure project, I wanted to make a system that I could use during rehearsals, in order to count time during a 5 minute break, as I usually can lose track of a few minutes.

Using a keyboard watcher, I set it up to count 300 seconds as soon as a button is hit, grounded through my script’s binder that I always have with me, by attaching some alligator clips and a spot of aluminum foil between my binder and the MakeyMakey, allowing me to both ground and hit go at the same time.

This screenshot shows just the first stage of the patch, before beginning running.
This screenshot shows the next stage of the patch, which is first to occur after hitting ‘go’.
This screenshot portrays the middle scene in the patch. Here, music plays while some shapes bounce along the screen.
This screenshot is of the final scene in the patch. Once the patch reaches this point, it stays here until I manually stop and reset the patch.
This video shows the program running within a rehearsal setting, though it is not the full 5 minute wait. This recording was unable to capture the sound that is part of the second scene.

Above is the zip file to the Isadora patch, and the files used.
