Idea

After the GameCookies success, we needed a new challenge. So we found online an instruction how to create pixel mapped cookies. Of course with space invaders.

Also the known shape mappings of M.C. Escher inspired us after we found a 3D printable mold.


Testing

A first run was made. The intial methode using the playdoh extruder kinda worked but was very labor intensive. Then we used the stripes method of the christmas invaders. This proved to be very effective as the stripes are easier to handle and the build up is faster. We also tried the sirpinsky cookies. This brought the idea to reduce the space invaders with the same method so we get smaller but more cookies.


  • Puzzled MC Escher birds

  • Chocolate bird

  • Mixed color bird

  • assembling pixel extrusions

  • starting 2nd row

  • really messy

  • 4 pixels in one go

  • 2nd row done

  • half invader

  • finally finished

  • cut and ready for baking

  • hot invaders
