TetriScape - as part of The AMAZE/INTERACT Festival
TetrisScape was the product of a collaboration between myself, Jennifer Cohen and a group of students from The University of Johannesburg.
It is a mobile game based on the classic Tetris game, but instead of falling blocks it using the buildings of the Braamfontein area in Johannesburg. Players walk the area and contribute building blocks to a single game being played simultaneously by all the players, by using their mobile phones and USSD technology. The resultant collections of buildings from the games are stitched together creating a city scape of the area, or TetsriScape.
The game was created and exhibited as part of the first International AMAZE/INTERACT Festival, held in Johannesburg.
