The story

Al-Tahteeb turns the traditional stick-fighting art into a Kinect duel in front of a temple facade, thirty opponents a round. A gaming news page covered it as a complete game built in four days for Insomnia 2022. Ghit Simulator recreates a farmer’s day in the fields.

Hard parts cleared

  • A complete Kinect game in four days, for a festival deadline.
  • Gesture recognition for swipes and strikes.
  • Low-poly characters and settings drawn from local heritage.
