Tug of war game

%

We’ve all had a game console before. But the problem is that new versions are always coming out.
What if we make our own console with games?

We make a console and controller from cardboard.
We design the console around the Tokymaker. In the controller we can insert some sensors
Because we want to make it easy for you, we have a previewed example below.

 

Let us then program the game “tug or war”. The aim of the game is to get the ball in your half of the screen. This is obtained by pressing the push button.
Whoever can control the buttons the fastest will win the game. The color of the on-head LED changes depending on the winning player

The inputs are :

  • 2 buttons (IN1 & IN2)

The outputs are :

  • speaker (OUT1)

In the controller we have processed the push button inside so the clicking is done by pressing on the right side of the cardboard.

Amazing gadget! I got it as a present from a friend and I’m still amazed. It only took me about an hour to assemble, and now I’m experimenting with its possibilities. Kudos!
