 Download the image package [http://support.omekinteractive.com/index.php?/TI/managedownloads/Download/View/32/11/installation Beckon-Image-2.4.19872.tar.gz] as mentioned above onto your Linux PC. Then extract it by entering
-  host$ tar -xvzf ''<ImageFileName>''
+  host$ '''tar -xvzf ''<ImageFileName>'''''
 Run the following command to make sure you have bash installed.
-  host$ sudo apt-get install bash
+  host$ '''sudo apt-get install bash'''
 Insert your SD card using a card reader/writer. Run the following command:
-  host$ sudo bash mkcard.sh /dev/''<sdX>'' beagle-omek
+  host$ '''sudo bash mkcard.sh /dev/''<sdX>'' beagle-omek'''
 ''Note: This action will wipe out and rewrite the SD card so make sure the files in it are backed up. The name of the SD card can be viewed in Disk Utility. If you mistakenly use the main OS device name this script can erase your entire OS.''

 I believe that almost every college students have played a game called "Greedy Snake" in our childhood. At that time, we played it on the cellphone, on the computer or on the PSP. However, we are always using the keyboard to control the games we played. Now, our final project could bring you something new, that is a "Gesture Controlled Greedy Snake". It means that, using the gesture, the keyboard is never required to play the game. Amazing? Read the following wiki to know how we make it happens!
-Basically, we are using the kinect from Microsoft and the Beagle Board XM from Texas Instrument to accomplish our gesture game. The program for the game is programmed on the QT-Linux. Besides, we use the cross compiling to compile the program to make the game run on the beagle board.

 After our previous work, our "Gesture Greedy Snake" is completed, and works pretty good. The snake can be controlled by our gestures smoothly. The game reminds us a different style of childhood memory.

-Conculsionly, our project works pretty good. Our Greedy Snake game runs very good and brings a lot of fun for us. During the develop process, we met lots of difficulties, we tried to solve them one by one. Finally, we solved almost all the problems and end up with a nice project.

 === The Technics Used ===
 Technically, we can use QT to design our program and then cross-complie our project to the beagle-board. The Greedy Snake is an open-source QT game, and the tracking of the joint can be accomplished from modifying the Omek SDK. We have to modify both of their codes to connect the two parts together.

-Our project is about how to use Microsoft Kinect Sensor to play snake game by the motion of you right hand(You can change to any part of your body if you would like to). We set a score section to record the highest score. Anybody who want to break our record are welcome(Currently the record is holding by Xinyu Cheng at 260). We've created a play demo and uploaded it to YouTube:
