What it does

Player 1 sends emojis to instruct Player 2 on how to get to the cafe. Player 2 receives these on an LED board (9 x 14 matrix) and has to interpret them to figure out where to go. Only Player 1 can see where Player 2 is in the world.

How we built it

Lua, Love2D, Raspberry Pi, Custom Light board
