Prolog

Games are great and help to forget everyday life. In addition, the development of games helps to discover new possibilities and to expand the own knowledge.

Crazy Car Racer

It's a cold and dark night. The drugs are still working and your blood is boiling. You get in your car and take off. As in reality, there is only one life and if you collide ... game over.

Requirements

  • mandatory 1x I2C OLED (example 0.96" 128x64)
  • mandatory 1x potentiometer (e.g. 10 kilo ohms)
  • mandatory 1x passive buzzer (Piezo Buzzer)
  • few cables
  • optional a breadboard
