Imagine having the ability to create retro type LED games similar to the classic handheld LED games of the late 70s and early 80s but with only 10 NeoPixels oriented in an arc combined with lots of sensors! We are challenging makers to create games that transform the Circuit Playground board into a retro handheld 1D arcade game system. The Circuit Playground board is a perfect board to explore coding based on creating retro LED type games with young programmers. We seek to create 1D arcade games centered around retro LED gaming with just 10 NeoPixels. We focus on LED gaming...

I am continually testing one tap games that work well with the iTapStick interface module.  I just had a chance to play the Geometry Dash game on my Kindle Fire HD 6 tablet.  If you want a one tap game that is fun for both kids and "grown" kids this is the game for you.  Can I tell you I had a blast playing this game with my Wii Nunchuk controller using my iTapStick module!  Get the game even if you don't use it with the iTapStick module!  Check it out on iOS, Android, and Steam.

I decided to release Part II of the Battery Operated Retro TV HDMI Cardboard Stand for Your Raspberry Pi as an instructable!  Check it out!  If you have any questions about the build feel free to contact me. More Raspberry Pi blog fun coming soon!
