This is for an assignment to create a Protest Object - something that addresses a social issue. This is a handheld game where the player is a marginalized person making appeals to authority, tilting it one way or the other simulates making arguments to authority, where blue lights are a point towards getting policy in your favor, and red lights are points against it. Tilt one way is an attempt to make a compromising argument, and the other is an attempt to make an aggressive argument. However, the compromising argument side is randomized, barely favoring blue light outcomes. This represents how any challenge to the status quo can be perceived as too radical and aggressive by authority.
Cutting it Out
Here I'm cutting out the base shape from paper layered with gorilla tape for additional strength and durability. I used this technique to make the handle as well as to make small loops to keep the circuit in place.

A look at how it was done. Using an if loop, it counts the points and displays the neopixel position in a specific color. On the tilts, the point is automatically given or randomly generated. A button resets the game.
Sketching and Planning
Here was my idea for how I would create the housing - I used only scissors, paper, and gorilla tape.
