Handheld Arduino Game

This handheld game prototype was developed as my final project for CMU's 18-095: Getting Started in Electronics.

Overview

This project explores non-traditional tactile input systems by using a slide potentiometer to control the player's vertical position. The game itself is inspired by Flappy Bird.
