24/10/23 – Creation of the prototype of the suit for the upper part of the body (see "Prototype_upper_circuit_back" and "Prototype_upper_circuit_front") out of cardboard. We defined the positions of the Arduino card and the sensors. The prototype is satisfying, but only tailored to one of our team members. We need to have unisized suits (possibly buying an already existing one and fixate the card and sensors on it). We also need to make a prototype with the card and sensors on it. 

21/11/23 - Creation of a more complete prototype of the suit for the upper part of the body (see "Ctrl+Fight! prototype back" and "Ctrl+Fight! prototype front"). We connected the hall effect sensors with the Arduino card and to the computer. The system is working, the hall effect sensors seem like a better option than the ILS modules. The gloves will need to be equipped with magnets to make it work. However, the cables were too short and barely holding, we need a sheathing for them. The cable connecting the card to the computer might also be too short, it doesn’t allow much movement. We need to make a prototype for the boxes that will contain the sensors. 

We also started looking for a way to track the players position on the ground to make movements inputs in the game. Laser emitters and receivers seem like a good way to do that. 

28/11/23 - Creation of a prototype for the arena in which the players will fight (see "Arena" and "Diagram_of_the_arena") and for the boxes that will contain the sensors (see "sensor_box"). The arena was made to scale, but still seems rather small (1,2 x 1 m) and doesn’t allow much movement. The lasers are placed on the lateral sides of the arena, two lasers for each player that will make them go right or left in game. For the suit, we started looking for second-hand offers online and have found some not too expensive.
