Golf with your Friends golf game

Story

With the help of my professor I was able to figure out the coding for the project so thank you Edwin Lohmeyer for your help. The purpose of this project was to create a video game controller from irregular materials. I decided to make a golf club out of a baseball bat for the steam game Golf With Your Friends. I used an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express as the circuit board that housed the coding for this project.

The CPX has a built in accelerometer that controls the movements of what would be a mouse. As displayed in the video by tilting the baseball that the CPX is mounted to you can turn the camera. With the holding of the A button that is built into the CPX you are able to ready for your swing. While holding The A button on the CPX if you tilt the top of the bat toward the screen the power of your shot will be increased and if you tilt it away from the screen it will then decrease the power of your shot.
