A-Frame 114 Workshop; Immersive Pumpkin Chunkin' building with physics in VR

Details

This Halloween season we focus on pumpkins! Scary lanterns? Nope.
In good old American Pumpkin Chucking tradition, we are holding a workshop about shooting pumpkins with the help of the A-Frame physics component.

You will be designing and building your slingshots, catapults, centrifugals, trebuchets, and pneumatic cannons with A-Frame primitives and of course personalize your pumpkin projectiles.

Who can shoot their virtual pumpkin the farthest? Bonus points on hitting the scary scarecrow in the back of the pumpkin patch!
