Inspiration
Arduino Snake Territory Game is inspired by the classic Snake game and the many .io games available on the web.
What it does
The Arduino Snake Territory Game allows two players to compete in a territory-style game that’s displayed both on the Arduino’s LED board and on the connected screen through Lightning.
How we built it
We built the frontend with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The Arduino handles the game state calculations and sends that information to the frontend.
Challenges we ran into
At first, we weren’t sure how straightforward it would be to send information from the Arduino to the connected device. We explored more complex solutions, such as making the Arduino act as a server that sends game state data to the frontend through Wi-Fi, instead of simply using the already established Lightning connection.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
None of us had prior experience working with hardware for a project like this. Getting everything up and running in just a couple of days with no prior background felt like a big achievement.
What we learned
We learned more about what the Arduino is capable of, as well as how to use a breadboard, handle wiring, and connect Arduino output to a locally hosted frontend.
What's next for Arduino Snake Territory Game
Future improvements could include refining the game logic and using a larger LED display to give players a better experience on the Arduino screen.
