In 1980s, SIMON was all the rage. SIMON was a memory game in which segments of a circle lit up a particular colour in a particular sequence. The player then had to reproduce the exact same sequence to progress with the game. Les Pounder has taken a Raspberry Pi and a bunch of components from CPC<\/a>\u00a0(bet you couldn’t guess that<\/em>) and put them together in a large box to make a\u00a0very<\/em> blinky version of the same game. You can read how to build\u00a0it yourself, and program it using gpiozero (and some other libraries) here.<\/a>\u00a0If you want to do it on a smaller scale, you could do it with some illuminated momentary push buttons<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

You can see a demo video of it working below:<\/p>\n
