8-Bit MakerLabs

Do you like Mario? Do you like Pacman? Do you like Pong? No? Well too bad, this week’s MakerLabs throws you into the deep well of video game design with a simple 8-bit game design miniathon (mini hackathon)

Like always, anyone is free to join, of all levels. No max capacity this time. Join up as a team and build the coolest and most unique game, winner gets to keep their project!

Provided on everyone's table will be: an ESP32 C6, 8x8 LED Matrix, 2x Buttons (more controls on request) and snake game pre programmed

Modify the classic snake or go wild with your limited resources.

We will learn the industry standard of VS code with GitHub combo, throw in some AI and your halfway through a comp sci degree. If that’s too much or you have a distaste for AI, we will guide you through using the simple Arduino IDE as well.
