Chapter 19. The Rocket Launching Game (with Processing)
Would you like to build a rocket launching game? How cool would it be to launch the rockets from your Maker bench or bedroom? Since launching real rockets is a bit beyond the scope of this book, we’re going to use four pushbutton switches and the Arduino microcontroller to build a virtual rocket launcher. The rest is done in Processing. The electronic components to build this gadget are shown in the Parts List. The Rocket Launcher is shown in Figure 19-1.
Parts List
- Arduino microcontroller
- MakerShield kit
- R1-R5: 1KΩ resistors (brown, black, red stripes)
- S1-S4: pushbutton switches
- USB cable
- Full-size breadboard
