On 6th June, we held a Cambridge Raspberry Jam<\/a>\u00a0at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge. One of our Show and Tell tables was manned by Carl Monk and Albert Hickey<\/a>. Albert<\/a> has created a game called ‘Flappy Bird’ using Python & the Pygame library. You control a ‘flying brain’ and try to avoid obstacles placed in your way. The control mechanism is a headset which senses your level of concentration and then moves the brain up and down in response. The headset is wired to an Arduino which sends the readings to a Raspberry Pi.\u00a0You are literally controlling the game by using your mind! It’s\u00a0very impressive and extremely cool. Alex Eames of RasPi.TV has made a video in which he interviews Albert, has the project explained to him and then shows a demo play-through of the game. Take a look here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
