**A project for the workshop Prototyping the Future: Embedded Programming @ Roskilde University spring 2024**

*A simple handheld console that I would let my son Vincent play. Without any distractions but a bunch of abstractions to strengthen his imagination with a emphasis on experimentation.*



Examples of games you can play with a 100 pixel "screen".

**THE CONCEPT**

- A programmable console for Vincent

    - Board

        - Arduino Uno

    - Outputs

        - 10*10 LED RGB matrix instead of a screen

        - Simple piezo buzzer as a speaker

        - 4 Status LEDs

    - Inputs

        - 2 Rotary encoders

        - 4 Digital buttons

    - Game ideas

        - Adventure game, Battleship, Brick Break, Digital dice rolls, Game of Life, Pong, Tetris, Tic tac toe

**THE WORKING PROTOTYPE**



The assembled v1 prototype with two player pong working

- **Features**

    - Sound

    - "Screen"

        - Getting the not quite documented 5*5 LED matrices working as a tiled matrix was !FUN 

    - Digital buttons

    - Intro jingle and animation

    - Two player Pong

        - It displays the score

        - Each point raises the gameSpeed

        - The game resets when a player hits 10 points

- **Bugs**

    - The potentiometers need to be resoldered and arent adressed in the latest version of the code

    - Neither are the 4 LEDs used at this point, but they are defined in the code

    - Weird ball behaviour to be expected when hitting the edge of a paddle (maybe a feature?)

    - Code needs refactoring
