Arduino + LEDs = ❤️

A 1-dimensional action game where the player has to parry colorful projectiles coming in from both sides.

This project was created during the tarent MICA 2018 hackathon and is a joint effort of @walternummerdrei, @charbul, @abe-frickelbude and @hannesrohde.

Hardware

• Arduino Nano V3 or compatible
• SK9822 LED strip (1m, 144 LEDs)

The LED strip is attached to the ICSP port of the Nano:

• +vcc -> ICSP pin 2
• clock -> ICSP pin 3
• data -> ICSP pin 4
• gnd -> ICSP pin 6

For game controls, two push-buttons (or the x-axis of a joystick) are connected between the digital pins D3/D5 and GND.
