Student Builds 8x8 LED Version of Super Mario Bros.

Now that I think about it, that really isn't at all difficult to build. Music coder is in the software and the game is pretty straightforward to code in C. Hmm, I'm going to make one like that myself. Maybe I'll add a scoreboard. Finally something to do during Arduino class.

Still, good job doing it. Nostalgia FTW.

Is it me or was there something with her voice? a lisp? Cool contraption either way but not sure whats the point lol

Yeah, I call it "big tongue syndrome." (that's what it sounds like) She also sounds somewhat like a deaf person. I know a girl like this, but never brought it up.

It'd be neat being able to make something like that. It shows creativity (even though she's copying a 25 year old game).

I live in Pittsburgh near CMU. Many of the students are foreign and have difficulty speaking English.

CMU students always do cool projects like this, and the D&D Surface Scapes program. One of my friends who went to CMU (and now works at Gearbox) did an on-rails Ghostbusters shooter using a wii-like motion sensor mounted on a proton pack toy. You had to kill the Stay Puft Man. Keep in mind this was 2004-2005ish before the Wii was in our minds. It was also cooler than the real Ghostbusters game that came out just recently.
