This prototype is in both physical and digital from. In terms of physical form, at the very beginning, I was worried because I have a 5 x 5 grid and the best way to have 25 different buttons or an object to click on and each buttons or object represents each square on the grid. However, Makey Makey doesn’t have 25 inputs so I decided to make a grid system, which will only need 10 inputs in the Makey Makey. I was planning to have key W, A, S, D, F, G and arrow UP, DOWN, RIGHT and LEFT these 10 keys. For example, when W and UP presses together it presses the first square. By doing that way, there will be 25 different combinations.

For the prototype, I cut out two lids of shoeboxes and stick them together so it more like a square and bigger. For the wire, I cut them into the right length and cut the plastic on the outside so that the electricity can transfer and I needed 10 of them. After that I poked 20 holes on the side of the lid. Position of 10 of them is lower or upper then is other 10 because I wanted them to be separate.

                                 

I had 5 wires connected to W, A, S, D, F on the left side of the box and other 5 wires connected to UP, DOWN, RIGHT, LEFT, D on the top side of the box.

In order to touch both of the wire at the same time, I wrapped one chopstick with foil and connected to earth.
