Linux guru Les Pounder has created this fantastic version of Snakes and Ladders called Pythons and Resistors, hooked up to a Raspberry Pi. You press a button to perform a dice roll and magnets and reed switches embedded in the playing pieces and the board trigger sounds to be played if you hit certain squares – the pythons (snakes) and resistors (ladders). It’s a really nice project for which he has provided a complete build-and-code tutorial. Thanks to the Raspberry Pi Foundation for blogging about this one!
