This instructable will teach you how to construct homemade game controllers for personal games, education aids, or anything you want. This system uses 4 controllers which send signals to a central hub which holds an Arduino. It was designed for use with a game called Fraction Smash that my group was developing for a class. Students […]

I have built this Mini Cardboard Arcade using a B&W small CRT (Cathodic Ray Tube) recovered from an old video intercom. It is based on an Arduino Nano emulating the classical Space Invaders. The switch on the rear turns ON the Arduino and starts the game. Alternatively, one can use the two Audio/Video sockets on

VivoGame (something like “liveGame” in english) is a funny 2 players game whose goal is hit a target with a automated dart. One player wear a “glasses” that doesn’t let him see the target. 3 leds that replace each lens, allow the other one, who see the target, moving the first player’s head with a
Most modern computer games have a clearly-defined end, but many classics like Pac-man and Duck Hunt can go on indefinitely, limited only by technical constraints such as memory size. One would think that the classic electronic memory game Simon should fall into that category too, but with most humans struggling even to reach level 20 it’s hard to be sure. [Michael

I recently started using Arduino to make my projects. As a designer I love making custom interfaces for my games/interactive projects. The one problem I came across in that using serial communication is quite complicated and prone to problems and bugs and I wanted a quick and easy solution to allow me to use external

This project is for the class ATLS 3300 at CU Boulder. Push buttons can make buzzers sound. Five buttons represented the tone C, D, E, F, G. There are two modes. The switch determines the mode and LEDs can indicate which mode we are in. In mode-1, the game handle can determine which buzzer sound.

In this Instructable, we’ll teach you how to create your own “Would you rather… ” board game using conductive paint, an Arduino microcontroller, and some electronics components. Players take turns moving along the game path as directed by an electronic dice roll. Along the way, they answer questions each time their piece lands on an

This project is the perfect way to level-up your pumpkin carving and reach new high scores. Using an addressable LED strip and an Arduino, you’ll be able to make a basic screen capable of playing Pacman, and a controller made of a smaller pumpkin. This was a long process so give yourself plenty of time

This project was the result of an urge to contribute something to the Creative Games section of my kids’ elementary school fair. The kids loved it for it’s simple old-school game aesthetic mixed with Wii-style and Kinect-style video game control. It’s a spin-off project of an earlier Ball & Plate experiment mentioned here in the Instructables

Two teams answer questions by pushing their button. They can score an amount of points equal to the random number of lights lit on their button. This requires some strategic choices and luck. When the teamscores meet on the large led strip, they can take away points from the other team. First one to the
