The Spork Console is a self-contained game console in the form of 2 custom PCBs (console with 10x20 LED display, and controllers), an Atmega328 microcontroller, and RJ12 cable (phone cable with 6 wires) to connect the console to the controllers. Code is written in the Arduino IDE, and uploaded using an Arduino Uno with its microcontroller taken out. It currently has 3 games:
* An obstacle game.
* A snake game (multiplayer).
* A tetromino game like Tetris.
Thank you! I was worried at first, when the initial cables I made were very flaky, and needed to be held in place. I think I just used the crimper wrong though; now I have good cables, and I'm really happy with the decision — it's both funny, and practical. :) 6 wires = ground, power, 3 data for the shift register, and 1 to know if it's connected.
That looks so awesome! Great idea using the RJ12 cable!
