Week 1: Project Overview

AHOY MATEYS!

Our goal is to create a fun game where you get to move up wooden planks, dodge cannonballs and find booty! You can come aboard for entertainment starting at ages seven and up.  Building this Pirate Arrrcade experience will not be an easy feat.  It will require integrating mechanical and electrical systems through an Arduino. The mechanical systems will include Pirate Joe's ascent, jumps, and wait times.  Electrical and software systems will range from sensing cannon ball collisions to obeying user input on the control buttons. Lastly, the design of the game will be enhanced to give you the full benefit of a buccaneer's life at sea!

Follow our voyage journal and charts for weekly updates.  So get your hornpipe and join us on this swashbucklin' adventure!
