For quite some time I wanted to build a console for many players to play some mini games on parties. Going to the Maker Faire I took the opportunity to test ist with many people. The main processor is the ESP32 microcontroller that can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. Since I already developed a library for VGA graphics and emulated a PAL signal in the past I extended my library to support composite video too. The code isn't finished yet since I need to add color, but nevertheless I was able to implement a quick game to play with the visitors on the Maker Faire.
