4-Player Interactive Basketball Game Development
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I am making a 2-player pop a shot basketball game and I want to make 2 of them so I can link the 2 games together and play a 4-player game. I want to use something like Raspberry Pi and sensors to keep score when 7" basketballs pass through the hoop. The score would be displayed on a monitor.
I was thinking to start a game you either push a start button or during a non-game if you score a basket the sensor detects a score which starts a 3 second countdown timer and then a 60 second game will start. All baskets worth 2 points, but last 15 seconds baskets are worth 3 points. I found a youtube video online that provides a lot of detail (below). I know nothing about raspberry Pi so I want to hire someone to research everything, tell me exactly what to purchase and send me the software/ codes so I can test it. I want to have copies of the code for backup so I can remake the game if something breaks.
Key Takeaways
Utilize a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and an ultrasonic sensor to automate a mini basketball hoop scoreboard, tracking scores when a ball passes through the hoop.
Integrate Node.js and WebSockets to create a real-time, web-based score display that can be viewed on multiple devices. (Or something similar)
Customize the scoreboard interface and adapt the system for various applications such as different sports or adding custom graphics for a birthday party.
Follow the provided guides for setting up the Raspberry Pi, including OS installation and touchscreen assembly for an enhanced interactive experience.
Modify the default Pi settings to optimize display orientation and update Node.js to a newer version for better performance.
Explore the potential of better sensors for improved accuracy and adding countdown timer and multiplayer mode feature.
