So I’ve been building games and things for some times. But just doing the same old thing gets old. Even with new games, it is still the same theory and same set of skills required. Just using the skills in different ways.
I’m always looking to build new skills. As I get older, I think it is important to find new things to learn to keep your mind building new pathways. At least it seems like I remember something like that.
Something that I’ve always wanted to learn is machine control. Having a simple computer being able to take inputs and act on those inputs. There are many pieces of equipment that do a lot of the work for you. Things like the Arduino platform:
https://www.arduino.cc/
Arduino Uno R3 Microcontroller A000066
ARDUINO K000007 The Starter Kit, 1.5"
Arduino Starter Kit - English Official Kit With 170 Page Book
The idea with a system like this is to take inputs and react to them. My thought was something like my Operation Skee-Ball game. With the one I made, you had to watch where the balls went and keep up with the score manually. With a system like this, when a ball enters a hole, it controls a sensor and the Arduino keeps score… it can even help display it…
Just something I want to play with..
Has anyone built any Kid's church or VBS type games that use the Arduino platform (or something similar). I would love to see pictures...
