PacMan Game Console
A re-design of a classic arcade game into a handheld gaming console. The project was completed for an electronics focused studio, so the main feature of the project is that the internal electronics are fully functional. An OLED screen, rotary encoders, RGB LED, and speaker are coded using Python, a Raspberry Pie Pico and external power bank.
The console case and encoder dials are 3D printed PLA and finished by hand.​
Process
The console is based on the shape of the original full size arcade game. Three prototypes of the console case and two of the dials were printed to test how everything fit together.
Internal Electronics
I learned simple coding, gameplay setup, soldering, and breadboard prototyping in this project. Using reference code, Python, and AI software, I created the initial code to run PacMan. I tested the electronic components on a breadboard before soldering them in place.
