Project Proposal
I am choosing to do the Arduino only option. My project idea is to utilize the 8x8 grid and the joystick to create the game Snake, and for Part 3 to use the 8x8 grid, the joystick, and the button to recreate space invaders.
Part 1: Name Print
The name printing aspect was a fairly straightforward introduction to using the 8x8 LED screen
