I turned my Switch into a Burglar Alarm...

Nintendo's JoyCon packs a bit more punch than you might expect...
Using Game Builder Garage, I have unleashed the power of the little-known Infrared Camera. Behold, a JoyCon burglar alarm! Yes, you heard correctly. If this ain't a groundbreaking technological discovery then I don't know what is... Intruders beware.

Here's the code to download it in GBG: G 000 N59 6F8

[@memelegend1]

How do I use the code?

[@Indanam]

@@memelegend1 In Game Builder Garage, go Free Programming > Receive > Receive from online > enter the code

[@phidinh1151]

Umm it broke

[@3mychannelplayz248]

thanks

[@Qtippy.]

Pretty random detail I picked up, at 5:00 K.K. House starts playing as background music. Idk I just really like that song lol

[@Indanam]

That's right! That was actually the last song I put in the video cause I struggled to find the right fitting music for that part. KK House seemed to do the trick!

[@oo-yv9cq]

You should try to use the joycon's gyroscope to detect if someone opened the door.

[@Indanam]

Nice idea, gyro + IR would make it twice as secure

[@Casonplayz]

@@Indanam yea because I have 2 dogs they would trip it with out gyro

[@joshworthington6485]

Appreciate the time this took, and your mind. You’re a legend! 💯🇦🇺🤙

[@Indanam]

Thanks man, glad you appreciate the effort that went into this! 🙂

[@SilverXTikal]

Why do I feel like you’d be what the Home Alone kid would look like grown up if he didn’t do all the drugs he did xD

[@Indanam]

🤨

[@Glockenspiel8]

Your video ideas always surprise me! So creative. I especially love the editing in this one

[@Indanam]

I did go hard on the editing in this one, thanks for noticing!

[@Jwetchup]

You are extremely underrated, this is amazing and I would have never thought of creating this, keep up the great work!

[@Indanam]

Thanks, it means a lot! There is a new video in the works, still got heaps of work to do on it but stay tuned!

[@trashtrash2169]

A video of this quality deserves more than 60 views in the first hour... Shame. Guess the grind hasn't paid off yet.

[@Indanam]

Hopefully the algorithm will throw me a bone eventually 😅 I'm happy you recognise the quality!

[@trashtrash2169]

@@Indanam One can hope. Reminds me of how dankpods started with quality content day 1 and he's doing well now, just a year later. On the other hand, maybe lightning doesn't strike twice.

[@mickeyslive]

Another amazing vid. Thanks so much. I liked the bit when you rolled around on the floor. 😸

[@Indanam]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@exlforever]

This video was really interesting! Please make more things like this using game builder garage

[@zaydertotyt]

i like how the ir light nodon says yay when he pulls him out at 0:53

[@dylanc2806]

bruh. im glad i subbed to you, because i had no idea this video came out until i checked my subs

[@Indanam]

Good that you found it, would be nice if my videos showed up in people's home pages though haha

[@nicholaslooker1171]

This is epic, great video Indanam!!

[@GameJam230]

Make an entire wall of joycons so that you can play duck hunt by detecting where on the wall you're aiming the joycon. It'll only cost 1000x as much as just buying duck hunt and original hardware, so it's completely worth it XD

[@Indanam]

Oh yeah, completely worth it, it's not like you can use motion controls to aim at the TV 😜 I'm gonna go buy a whole shipping container of em!!

[@GameJam230]

@@Indanam Pfft, motion controls are a thing of the past. The future sees only infrared walls that can piss of neighbors by vibrating SO LOUDLY that it can be heard 3 houses down.

[@pianomasher6691]

Love the editing top notch 👍

[@aguest5394]

using this concept for a game of limbo thanks for the video and game download!

[@Indanam]

No problem! That sounds like a good use for it 😮

[@felixvids7238]

good to see you're back! would love to see more synth stuff from you :)

[@felixvids7238]

by the way: have you tried korg gadget on switch? if so what are your thoughts on it?

[@Indanam]

Won't be often but might do something synthy every once in a while! Might do it on a second channel though, as I think my content here has mostly moved on from synths. I'll announce that when I do. Haven't tried Gadget on Switch coz didn't feel the need to spend $60 when I know I'd barely use it. I did try the free demo on mobile, it was kinda cool and I can see how it can be fun! Like a Garageband but with more fleshed out synth engines.

[@felixvids7238]

@@Indanam please do. korg ds10 pretty much got me into synthesis so i saw gadget as somewhat of a continuation of that. i see what you mean tho regarding useability and i just wish they would stop holding cool music apps hostage on ios

[@kruchkov6679]

You can use 1 R joy-con and special tape (don’t know the name) send light and receive from the same

[@iwantfitness2255]

Great work! Very entertaining, love it!

[@Indanam]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@yuyogurtrolls901]

Nintendo LABO for burglar catching

[@Indanam]

Pretty much lol. Maybe Nintendo could sell more Switches if they marketed it as a home security device 😆

[@devynbravener6661]

Cool stuff dude! Can't wait to see what you got coming next!

[@Indanam]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

[@kyx5631]

That was neat. Though you forgot the important aspect to make it purple so Scots cannot report on it (:

[@njnjco]

Huh, that’s pretty cool. I didn’t know game builder garage had ir features. When I clicked on this video I thought you were going to be using Fuze or something.

[@NewToneProducer]

This video needs more love. Well done!

[@Indanam]

Thanks!

[@mrdansings]

Hahaha this was a great video!! I wonder if you could use it for co-op play between consoles

[@Indanam]

I guess you could! If both have GBG, you could send signals from one console to another and do something with that 😯

[@beeflon]

Nice work mate.

[@Indanam]

Cheers!

[@SuperStar64FNAF]

Such a creative mind you have!

[@Indanam]

Thanks!

[@Vince-nw4lh]

⁠@@Indanamhow do i set it up

[@dabois012]

You only need 1 right joycon and 2 nodons. IR Motion camera connected to for example a joycon vibration nodon it works.

[@BaskootAltatota]

This is impressive!

[@Indanam]

Thanks!

[@kevinsaeteros8072]

Great video

[@Indanam]

Cheers!

[@thomasko0947]

wooow that is sooo cool!

[@Colour_roblox]

I have red blue joy con too how do i download the app?I cant download the GBG

[@ShimmeringVapidCoal]

Or you could like, literally buy the app on the eshop that already does this But then, I guess this has more customization.

[@felipee5239]

Do you think it's possible to use one joycon to emit IR light and the other one to receive the light with the IR camera to replicate a sensor bar?

[@Indanam]

Like a Wii sensor bar? Possibly, don't know if it would be super accurate. The motion controls in GBG are pretty good though, so it's not hard to make a game where you point at the screen.

[@teodormarin2143]

Imagine getting arrested because of two joycons when You try to rob a house 💀💀💀

[@pandalipsa5358]

IR Motion Camera Nodon gets promoted to a theif detector

[@cack]

In a couple of months i won't be surprised if you made a fully functional irl robot with Game Builder Garage

[@simonw.1223]

Nice Video

[@Indanam]

Thanks!

[@vineasaur]

That’s awesome

[@Indanam]

Glad you think so!

[@Somedude677]

Why? It took 2 hours to correctly set this up and download the programing!

[@TheApoke]

Haha genius!

[@emerson_5]

This is what KZbin was made for

[@Mikusluka]

bro i just made it 2 years ago and with just ir motion and sound the best thing

[@Kirbyfan7209]

Smart…

[@blix_crystal]

Whats the game id?s

[@Neothix01]

interesting

[@shanaherrera1267]

My joy con won’t put out lights

[@pandalipsa5358]

wait... what if the switch runs out of battery

[@esnarthegamer]

There’s a app for that

[@SpinAttackLink]

You know there’s an app on the switch that does the exact same thing

[@Indanam]

I was aware of some IR cameras but not any IR alarms. Interesting 😮

[@SpinAttackLink]

It’s called spy alarm

I’m new👍
