Having learned about neural networks via codingtrain, i managed to get a pose prediction model to interface with a space game where you dodge the meteors. It uses p5.js, and ml5.js. Both really amazing libraries.

Stuff i did:

• Built a webcam-controlled game using PoseNet (ml5.js) to track body keypoints and a pre-trained neural-network classifier (34 inputs) to recognize gestures (salute to start/restart, lean left/right to steer).

• Implemented a simple scene/state system (title, simulation, end) with a model-loaded gate so gameplay only begins once PoseNet is ready.

• Created Ship and Meteor classes and a timed game loop: meteors spawn on an interval, survival time increments each second, and intervals are properly started/stopped on game over.

• Programmed homing meteor movement using basic vector math (normalize direction toward the ship and apply velocity), plus collision detection to trigger end-state + explosion effect.
