Stickhandle like a pro -- keep your head up !

Hotdangle is a fun, interactive hockey game that uses your webcam to track a colored puck/ball and sharpen real stickhandling skills while you play.

• Train while playing. Real‑time color tracking turns your floor into a hockey skills arena.

• Heads‑up habits. Designed to build control without staring at the puck.

• Quick setup. Define a small play zone, plug in a webcam, and start dangling.

What you need (before you buy)

• Play zone: ~5 ft x 3 ft on the floor (clear of clutter, even lighting).

• Webcam: Any USB webcam aimed ~3.5–4 ft high, angled 75–85° toward the floor.

• Gear: Hockey stick + puck or ball. ( Multiple colors help )

• Optional: Hockey tiles for smoother movement and more consistent tracking.

How tracking works

Color‑based detection via your webcam. Best results come from:

• Good, even lighting ( avoid harsh shadows / overexposure ).

• Strong contrast between puck / ball, stick, and floor.

• Adjusting color choice if detection is weak in your room.

Key features

• Real‑time puck / ball tracking for responsive gameplay

• Skill‑focused modes to build control and speed

• Simple in‑game camera tools ( zoom, toggle camera )

• Designed for home use -- set up in minutes

Notes & tips

• Larger play zones increase difficulty; smaller zones are easier.

• If detection is inconsistent, switch to a more contrasting puck / ball color or improve lighting.
