Hi guys,

A while back I posted about my latest work-in-progress. Thought I'd talk about it here just to get a little feedback.

I hope to make a very simple hand-held game based on the popular "2048" game (see here).

In essence it will be a small circuit board with a 4x4 grid of RGB lights and a set of 4 buttons. Instead of numbers, I'll be using colours on a spectrum from red (low value) to green (high value).

My driving goal is a low price for the kit. A secondary goal is a small size - perhaps something that might fit on a keyring.

Annoyingly, my laptop blew up a week or two ago so I'm unable to work on the circuit design at the moment, I'll upload some images of the design as soon as I'm back on my feet. For the time being I'm just writing the firmware for the game on my raspi and will have to port it over to the microcontroller later on in the project.

I think I can get away with an Atmel ATTiny85 chip as the brains of the game. I have previously used this chip to drive an array of 16 Neopixels to good effect. hopefully if I recycle that LED driver code I can also cram in the game logic for 2048!

Sorry for the lack of detail at this time. I hope to rectify that soon.

In the mean time, play this until you lose your mind...
