CSE Hour: LED Matrix Gaming
๐ก๐ Snake Game Like Youโve Never Seen Before! ๐ฎ
A Unique CSE Hour Workshop โ Lighting Up Creativity
Ever wondered what happens when you mix code, creativity, and 961 tiny light bulbs? Our fellow batchmates have brought the classic Snake Game to life โ not on a screen, but on a 31x31 LED bulb matrix! ๐ฅ
This isnโt just a game โ itโs a living, glowing grid where each bulb acts like a pixel, and every movement of the snake is powered by smart C++ logic and precision wiring. Itโs retro gaming, reimagined with hardware and passion.
๐ง What to Expect from the Workshop
Join us for The CSE Hour, a special session conducted by Tharaka Jayasena, where we take a deep dive into how these glowing games came to life.
