RGB LED Pocket Gamer

Relive some Nokia classics with this one handed pocket game board using a Adafruit DotStar High Density 8×8 Grid – 64 RGB LED Pixel Matrix as a display. From mars91 on Instructables:

A pocket-sized gamer that uses an 8×8 RGB pixel matrix to play Snake, Flappy Bird, and any other retro games you can design.

I think bright RGB LEDs look great, and wanted to create something that showcases them. I started with the classic game of Snake and ended up with both Snake and Flappy Bird, all programmed with minimal components.

I’ll also go over programming and soldering as well for such tiny powerful components!
