Twitch Streamer Built a Working Controller with a Pomegranate and Used It to Play Hades
Feb. 21, 2021People have been buildingcustom-controllers to play gamesfor the longest time. We even saw a hardware hackerbuild a Mario Kart controller using a Mario figurine. We, however, have never seen someone use pomegranate as a controller. Yes, you heard that right! The fruit pomegranate. A Twitch streamer recently built a working game controller using an actual pomegranate and used it to beat Hades.
Ever since its public release, the game has garnered many players. They have come up with unique ways to finish a run in the game, using certain power-ups and items. However, none of them has played the game and finished it using a pomegranate controller except Twitch streamer Rudeism.
The guy literally took a freshly sliced pomegranate and used a Makey Makey invention kit to turn the fruit pieces into buttons.Makey Makey, for the uninitiated, is essentially a toy that can turn household items such as a bowl of water or even bananas, into interesting inventions.
So, the streamer got a $50 Make Makey kit, attached a few wires to the pomegranate pieces, and bound their inputs to the inputs of a controller. This way, he was able to build a working game controller out of a pomegranate and use it to beat Hades.
Now, during the process of building the controller, Rudeism had a ton of failed attempts. However, the guy did not give and after hours of trying, his hard work finally paid off amazingly.
You cancheck out the full 7-hour streamof Rudeism building the pomegranate controller on his Twitch channel. Later, he shared a tweet (attached below) showcasing the working of his creation.
