8x8 LED matrix - Atari Breakout inspired Arduino game
A lot of my latest Arduino projects has been mostly about electronics, and so I made this little fun game project as an excuse to do more coding for a change ;)
This is also the reason for using the led matrix with I^2C backpack from Adafruit, since this is really easy to get started with.
It is also possible to use a led matrix without a backpack, but this is a more advanced project and will require more code and connections to control the leds. I am going to make a blog post with inspiration on how to do this at a later time.
The game has different features such as increased speed after winning, blinking smileys when winning and loosing and three different ways the ball will bounce back depending on how it hits the paddle.
