AR Circle Pop
Get ready for an engaging Augmented Reality game that puts you right in the action! AR Circle Pop uses your computer's webcam to track your hands in real-time.
Watch as red and blue circles float up from the bottom landscape. Your mission? Pop them using the correct hand! Raise your right hand to pop red circles, and your left hand for blue. Each correct pop scores you a point.
But beware! After reaching 5 points, sneaky black circles will appear. Popping these will cost you points and one of your precious three lives. Keep your score high and your reflexes sharp!
Features:

• Real-time hand tracking via webcam (Requires camera permission).
• Simple, intuitive gameplay: Match hand color to circle color.
• Increasing difficulty with faster circles and black circle hazards.
• Score and life system.
• Fun sound effects and background music.

How high can you score before you run out of lives? Jump in and start popping!

How to Play (for in-game screen or itch.io details)

Instructions:

1. Allow Camera Access: The game needs permission to use your webcam to see your hands. Please click "Allow" when prompted.
2. Hand Assignment:
   • Your RIGHT Hand is assigned RED.
   • Your LEFT Hand is assigned BLUE.
   • (You should see colored outlines around your index fingers on screen once detected).
3. Objective: Pop the rising circles by touching them with the tip of your index finger of the correctly colored hand.
   • Use your RED (Right) hand to pop RED circles.
   • Use your BLUE (Left) hand to pop BLUE circles.
4. Scoring:
   • Popping a correct color circle: +1 Point.
   • Popping a BLACK circle: -1 Point AND -1 Life. (Score cannot go below 0).
5. Black Circles: These start appearing after you reach 5 points. Avoid them!
6. Lives: You start with 3 lives. Popping a black circle costs 1 life. The game ends when you run out of lives (reach 0 lives).
7. Pop Zone: You can only pop circles when they are in the middle area of the screen (not right at the very bottom or very top).
8. Goal: Score as many points as possible before the game is over!

Tips:

• Make sure you have good lighting so the camera can see your hands clearly.
• Keep your hands within the camera's view.
• Focus on accuracy – popping the wrong color doesn't do anything, but hitting black circles is costly!
