About the Game

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.

Strongly recommended

  • Watch the “Setup Configuration” video on this page.

  • Read the full quick‑start guide ( "View the manual" link ) before first launch.

  • Try the FREE Demo on this page to confirm your camera, play zone, and color detection work on your system.

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.
