So, after my boyfriend proposed to me using our bookshelf, he decided to do tetris.
It actually works, even on a 14×9 squares-grid. And yes, it’s totally playable.
You can see him proposing by having me play Snake on the shelf here: https://youtu.be/r0R5i4t3Oho
I quickly browsed the comment section of the video and noticed Nadia shared her code on github and some backstory on the build. Awesome work, Nadia! https://github.com/oyvindmb/bookworm/wiki
Adafruit has had paid day off for voting for our team for years, if you need help getting that going for your organization, let us know – we can share how and why we did this as well as the good results. Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
All credit for making the thing should really go to my husband, Øyvind Berntsen (he made snake work as a way to propose to me. Of course I said yes)
In a talk he held about the making of the shelf earlier this year, he cited Adafruit with Limor Fried and the maker movement as his biggest inspirations. So fun to find our bookcase here!
Oh my, so glad you featured this!
