Context

Our group was inspired by pieces that blur the line between creator and created. "hello.World", a project featured in Carnegie Mellon's "Building Virtual Worlds" class (taught by the late Randy Pausch), was our primary inspiration. Other works that helped us determine a final product include the popular Flash animation series "Animator vs Animation" as well as a trailer for an interactive dance performance using the Microsoft Kinect. The final product is similar to such games as Minecraft and Garry's Mod, in that the player is encouraged to create as well as explore the limits of his power, while also having no explicit goal towards which to work.
