Learn how to create the simplest possible game using the Arduino-compatible chip, the ATtiny85, together with the SSD1306 128x64px IIC OLED display, one pushbutton, one resistor, a breadboard, and a few wires.
This project is as simple as possible, but it´s a good starting point for developing more complex games. We will run it on both the breadboard, as well as on the Tinycade handheld game console. The library used for drawing images on the display is U8x8, which is a very simplified version of the u8g2 library. For graphics, we use online graphics editor Photopea, to convert images into C code we use image2cpp website, and to test the project, we use WOKWI, free online arduino emulator.
Finally, when it´s time to upload the project on the ATtiny85 chip, we need some kind of programmer. Last time, I was using USBtinyISP, but this time, we will use Arduino UNO. Hope you like this tutorial and good luck with creating your own game!
