Create your own, custom hand-held video game device in this 2-day class!

Learn Arduino Coding through game design. During this 6 hour class split over two Saturdays, we will learn the basics of Arduino (C++) programming while writing games for a credit card sized system. We will work with variables, read inputs from buttons, and draw graphics on the screen.

Day 1:
• Install Libraries
• Install Board Drivers
• Upload files to Board
• Simple Screen Functions & Making maps and sprites
• Data types and variables
Day 2:
• Program control (if/else) & Loops (for/while)
• Game Design and Programming Walk Throughs
Please bring your own laptop computer for both days. Windows recommended.

NOTE: This is a two-day class over two weekends, 7/16 and 7/23, 1pm-4 pm each day. Your ticket purchase covers both days. Ticket includes all electronics and parts to complete one project.
