Next year for my event I want to make a zombie shooting game consisting of a moving lifesize zombie target (nothing complicated..can be on an oscilating fan) where people shoot at him in certain areas with an Infrared gun.
My easiest thought was to just buy a child's game and dismantle it. If you view the video below and fastforward to 1:00. I can just add wire and move the targets across the body and then redesign them for asthetic purposes. It keeps score and jumps from target to target.
Only problem is, this toy isn't available in the U.S. until December 2015....
SO... Do any of you have any ideas for SIMPLE plans or suggestions on how a novice like me can attempt to build one of these thing? Its basically a laser pointer shooting into a PIR, but I have no skill in building circuits. However I am willing to attempt if it's simple. A good suggested hack may be better. Maybe a modified porch motion sensor can be linked to various things (such as a shiatsu massager) to allow animation once its shot? Keeping score would be very nice if it can be done
Please let me know!!
