Avishay has developed the ASTROGUN, a Raspberry Pi based asteroid shooting gun and video display system. He originally designed the project along with Maayan Dreamer for the Jerusalem Mini Maker Faire, held last June. The game is pretty simple - the player stands and has to shoot Asteroids that are...Tags: ASTROGUN, game, heads up display

Here's a video of Jeri Ellsworth's latest project for element14, a shooting arcade game using the MachXO2 CPLD. The game is simple in principle: use an LED light gun to shoot the light sensors representing the bad guys when they appear at windows in the target house. The implementation is...Tags: game, Jeri Ellsworth, Lattice Semi, MachXO2
