We string together 15 buttons pads, a bunch of ATmega8s, program in some rules to Tetris, and out comes a wall-sized interactive Tetris game. Picture Frame Tetris is another tutorial on why we like big blinky things. We've made the game of Tetris interactive with 720 LEDs, 16 microcontrollers, and 10lbs of wires, sweat, and code. See it in action!
Hi Nate. I saw the tetris board at Maker Faire with my husband. His birthday is coming up and I'd like to purchase him the things he needs to at least begin this project. Can you help me figure out what to get? I'm clueless. He's the one with the electrical engineering background but of course I can't ask him or it won't be a surprise. Thanks for any help you can offer!
Your best bet would be to email techsupport@sparkfun.com. It is a complex (and pricey) project though! They should be able to help you out with what to buy.
