Albert Hickey<\/a> is a big fan of\u00a0using the SenseHAT<\/a> on the Raspberry Pi and also of using Scratch, the visual programming language. So, he decided to use both with this simple game. You’re presented with a blue dot (which is you) and a red dot. By using either the SenseHAT joystick or the keyboard, you must\u00a0‘collect’ the red dot, at which point another red dot is spawned and on you go. The dots are shown on-screen as well as on the SenseHAT.\u00a0The code is on GitHub<\/a> or you can play it online without the SenseHAT by visiting Albert’s blog, where he’s written the project up<\/a>. You can see the game in action in the video below:<\/p>\n
