Node-REDscape : 100% Free, Open-Source Escape Room Control Software

[@mikeglide1292]

Mind blowing concept. First time your channel has come across my feed. Awesome thinking. You could have people in completely remote locations either work with or against one another. Thank you for sharing this .

[@barrydonaldson]

Fantastic stuff Alistair!! Thanks so much for doing AND sharing this! I really enjoy your videos. The more technical the better!

[@PlayfulTechnology]

Awh, thanks -hopefully there's plenty more to come!

[@FullStackFool]

This is looking great, Alastair! I saw you speak at ERIC pre-covid, and you were discussing the ideas for this system back then. So good to see it coming together in such a polished way.

[@jonathanlangberg6411]

Nice! I built an escape room last year with the controls based in node red after being inspired by one of your videos

[@eskibrew]

This is really impressive! Thank you for sharing. I have watched most of your other videos and really appreciate and enjoy them.

[@ImperialLightandMagic]

Can’t wait to try this over the weekend.

[@byoung255]

Wow this is excellent! Thanks for sharing it!

[@drangel11]

Wow, incredible. You find your profession. Would like to have the time to do also these things. Looking forward to your next inspirating video.

[@BF-rn3oz]

Alastair! You are awesome! I'm going to have so much fun playing with this software! Thank you so much for sharing your work and giving such a great explanation! I hope I can figure out how to implement all this, it looks quite robust! I'm new to microelectronics, but youtube is a hell of a professor. You're one of my biggest inspirations! I'm thinking of a way to use this for a puzzle style haunted woods. I'm hoping to use wifi and high-gain antennas to connect my nodes.

[@jenniferhernandez6491]

This is awesome! Thank you for all your contributions that help us all out!

[@ziomalZparafii]

Great! Before covid when we hit escape rooms quite often, like at least once a month, we discussed among friends to maybe create one and Node-RED was my first thought about the brain of the whole ER, as I use it in my home automation for years and know it quite well. Excellent choice if you ask me :) Not sure I would create custom code for uC, I would probably stick to Tasmota as it can be easily upgraded and adjusted OTA and is very easy to use in NR.

[@PlayfulTechnology]

I'm not sure how extensible Tasmota is to incorporate game logic though? Even though it's intended for every device to connect to Node-RED, it's also important that they are able to continue operating standalone if they are unable to connect to the network for any reason. So all game logic is contained on the uCs themselves - NR is just for monitoring/overrides.

[@ziomalZparafii]

@@PlayfulTechnology ah, ok. If it's supposed to work without NR then you are right, it changes absolutely everything regarding requirements.

[@masteruan]

This is really unbelievable thanks for your contents!

[@marcpijnappels1351]

Really like this. Thank you for all your effort and sharing your knowledge ! Highly appreciated.

[@chetantalele5841]

Is there any way to play a KZbin video as AR instead of using a video stored on device? I actually want to create an AR app that would scan over 70 different objects and display a separate video for each one. This would increase the size of the app,hence wish to fetch the videos from KZbin.

[@SmithyScotland]

Thank you for showing a practical example of Node Red. How do you create the boxes around your flows?

[@WaldemardeHaas]

Looks really cool! I’m gonna try it out. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Sangve]

Thank you so much for your effort, it looks amazing! Would love to get this up and running but I can't seem to get past some missing dependencies. I run node-red in Windows and followed your other guide for installing, but I end up with errors for ui_group, ui_tab, ui_dropdown, ui_test_input, ui_audio and ui_button. Any idea of what I could try?

[@kitsu5242]

Hello, thank you for your videos, great stuff, I learned a lot. I need help for an "escape game like" program, I would like to activate a servo motor (like opening a door) only if a given sequence is entered on 5 push buttons, pre-programmed sequence, examples, 1-2-5 -3-4 or 1-2-3-2-1-5-4 … I appreciate any help! Thanks

[@raymccoy9105]

This has been informative and useful starting out though I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to migrate to uibuilder V6. Any references for some of us with very limited web building skills for moving forward? Thanks!

[@the_fall1n.1]

Hi Alistair, I'm currently working on a new escape room and I just discovered all your video. At the beginning as I'm a web developer I was going to make everything in TypeScript and NodeJS using some sort of message bus like RabbitMQ or simple websockets. The cool thing with that is that I can get Types consistency and ahead of time compilation with TypeScript on My project. Now I see what you can achieve with node red I'm wondering. How can I add my knowledge in React, Nodejs and things like that with some sort of Node red code. What's really retains me for going to this is that currently, as far as i can see there is no way to detect code breaking as code is written in Node Red Nodes. Maybe I'm missing something. Generally speaking, when you know coding isn't better to go full on custom code ?

[@itolond]

how would you address multiple displays in a game area not play videos, vs a display in a specific location, via multiple HDMI, or each display has a esp or raspberry unit connected?

[@mr.bonsoir1284]

Following you for months/year now and you are doing an amazing job. I tried to use the node-redscape but we are missing parts from my understanding. It would be great if we could have the contect of the index and other file used in the uibuilder component. So the video, timer and hint system could work. I understand that is a framework, but the learning curve is steep for the mortals that we are. Thanks in advance Alastair

[@craigmajor4014]

This is fantastic Alistair, has anymore progress been made with it? I'm looking to use this exact process and would love some more instructional videos.

[@aihome242]

Wow, love it thank you so much!

[@audreymeyer8551]

Alistair, my husband is having trouble with the background video part. He doesn't know html. Everything else he's managed to do except for this part. Is there any way someone can help him out??

[@bassplayermaj]

Your "Triggering an action on startup" link for NodeScape on github is not working. Do you have the documentation somewhere else?

[@matttheswede]

This is brilliant! Thanks!

[@lwo7736]

Hi Alastair, are you planning on doing any tutorials for this system? Like, even just basic things like using it to turn LEDs on and off then using it to cause cascading effects (like you would see in an escape room). I'm already a patron but I would pay good money to have some in-depth tutorials on how we can use this!

[@PlayfulTechnology]

Yes, absolutely! You can do much more than cascading LEDs :) Did you check out the GitHub repository? I included "Button" examples for quite a variety of controllers, that show how to register input from a device to Node-RED, and how to receive data back again.

[@C0llinsW0rth.]

do you have any tutorials installing / getting these flows & nodes into Node-Red? I'm really struggling to get these things set up; also having trouble finding the front end uibuilder file to edit and install vue with : ( Thank you for the awesome content, it's super appreciated!

[@PlayfulTechnology]

All the flows are available on GitHub - github.com/playfultechnology/node-redscape/tree/master/Node-RED To import them, see here: nodered.org/docs/user-guide/editor/workspace/import-export

[@C0llinsW0rth.]

Thank you, that's so appreciated buddy. Loved the work you're doing and hope me watching and liking can support it! Looking forward to putting this stuff together this weekend, I'll let cha know how it goes 🙌🔥☺️

[@DjairGuilherme]

Amazing job, man! Thanks

[@CzarAlex]

This looks amazing! I hope to design something to try it out.

[@cyberworld6469]

Very Cool, Thanks for Sharing!

[@itsjustchris85]

Awesome stuff!

[@NabilTouchie]

Amazing! Thank you so much!

[@everydaytreatz]

hello Sir, that was Absolutely amazing project. please can you use NODE-LED to fetch data from arduino irrigation system to display all data from the sensors plus graphical presentation will be much appreciated

[@ichabodsescape1885]

WOW! I have been working on almost the same thing for my escape room. Node red over Raspberry Pi Modbus to Arduino. I haven't worked all the bugs out and will be very interested in how you tackled some of the same issues. Check out my rooms at Ichabods Escape We also use Unity, 3d printing, laser cutting, cnc, cricut and custom pcb's so this channel is AMAZING to see.

[@itolond]

Hi I wanted to reach out to you directly regarding this software

[@dylanedgar4977]

Hey Alistair! Running into an issue with the updated timer / clue display for the room (room_display) Do you have an email where I can troubleshoot this with you, or can you send me a message if you're able to help me figure out what I may be doing wrong Thanks! Love your work

[@nikhuge6580]

nice.... will try it soon

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

cool channel!
