Introduction: Lcd Running Game

About: My name is Bennett

This is a game that I like really much, it is the chrome non-wifi game but modified by me, the way that the game works the same as the old one, but I changed the character into a fat guy. I am using the Arduino Uno and not using the Arduino Leonardo because using the Uno can save you a lot of time on wiring.

Supplies

I did this as a project just recently, you can check out my first instructable for more information about the project!

Step 1: The Materials

The materials that meet the requirements are:

1 Lcd keypad shield

1 Arduino Uno

1 Arduino Uno transmission line

A power source

Step 2: Assembly

First: connect the Lcd keypad shield to the Arduino Uno.

Second: Upload the program code onto the Arduino Uno and the Lcd keypad shield.

Third: Connect to a source of electricity and it's done.

Step 3: Play It!

Here's a short video about how to play the game!

Step 4: The Code
