Welcome! This workshop will show you how to build and program your own arcade games using the Arduino electronics platform.

1 - Getting Started

This step tells you the materials and software you will need to complete this workshop.

2 - Using the Screen

Here, we will build the circuit that connects the screen to the Arduino, and learn how to display basic shapes on the screen. We will also go over how to connect the Arduino to the computer and program it using the Arduino IDE.

3 - Inputs

All arcade games need controls! This section will show you how to connect buttons and dials to your Arduino and write code to interact with them. We can then start displaying things on the screen based on whether our buttons are being pressed!

4 - Let's Make Games!

Now we know everything we need to make some games! This section details a few ideas to get you started, and gives some example code for ping-pong. If you can complete this section, carry on and make the coolest game you can!
