Project 4: Strange Controller

Our group project here is designed to be a controller for the game Tetris. The materials we used here are the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express for the code to make the sensors work correctly to sense the nearby object, a battery pack to power the circuit, two ultrasonic sensors connected to a breadboards, and resistors. The design of the object was created with cardboard box with a hole cut at the top for the on and off power button. We wanted to make the controller relate to the game Tetris in someway. We decided on making the box color yellow and adding a black edge line. This making the box represent a Tetris block similar to how they are designed in game.

Our strange controller is used in a way that will be hard to get used too. Controls such as movement and turning are used by your hands. The left side of the box is used to control the position of where the block where land. You have move your hand side-to-side to the position of where you want the block to land. The right side of the block lets you rotate the Tetris block position so that it can fit in certain spaces.
