Logic Gate Board Game: Interface, Expert Advice and LCD (2) (7x12)

:

Taking advantage of Karen's laser cutting design skills and Felix's soldering, the team created a prototype of the logic board game using Karen's magnetic clasp design. Now it's time to give the concept a test-run with help from JT Smith, proprietor of The Game Crafter, whose experience in game design includes games such as "The Captain is Dead". JT informs the team that creating a game which is educational and fun is one of the most difficult concepts to pull off. Usually there needs to be some compromise on the design, but where? While Karen contemplates JT's input, Ben and Felix hack at an LCD display with the Pic32 Microcontroller and a DE0-Nano FPGA, hopefully this will lead to a game design that doesn’t rely solely on LEDs!
