CPH Costume Maker 2
Read full descriptionHide full description
Costume Maker is an app that allows you to select an actor (or two) and place them against a backdrop and configure their costume in an almost infinite number of combinations. We don't exaggerate when we say an almost infinite number of combinations. Each actor can be either a boy or a girl and one of 6 different races. For each of the 6 items of clothing there are 9 variations (plus an option not to include it), and in addition to its original color it can be re-colored in one of 24 different ways. The actors can then be arranged on one of 11 different backdrops resulting in a possible 52,764,985,218,122,496 (fifty-two quadrillion, seven hundred sixty-four trillion, nine hundred eighty-five billion, two hundred eighteen million, one hundred twenty-two thousand, four hundred ninety-six) outcomes in the Costume Maker app! -- Developed for the Cleveland Play House in Partnership with the United States Department of Education.
