Reaction Time

• 

  Phase 1 of the countdown.

• 

  Phase 2 of the countdown.

Inspiration

I wanted to create something interactive.

What it does

Two players go head-to-head in this fun and simple game. The board flashes red, then yellow, and then after a random number of seconds (between .1 and 8) the board flashes green. The first player to press their respective button after the board turns green recieves 1 point. The first player to get 5 points wins!

How I built it

I used an Adafruit Circuit Playground and programmed it in Arduino.

Challenges I ran into

It was challenging to figure out how to get the game to stop after somebody had won, rather than just starting both players back at 0 points.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm proud that I was able to create this after first being exposed to it less than 24 hours ago.

What I learned

A lot can be done with a little knowledge and a little help.

What's next for Reaction Time Game

A counter of how many times each player has won, flashier light sequences when a player wins.
