You would have to know how to transfer the game code into an acceptable form that the Arduino would accept. The hard part would be assigning addresses and light outputs to every box.

Anybody else got any ideas on how this was done?

The bookshelf that went viral
2 Posted by Nadia - 10/10/2015 - English, The bookshelf

This is not the post I had planned on writing about our bookshelf. I had planned on writing about how we went to look at this flat just for fun and, you know, scope out the neighbours. I was going to write about how, when we entered the living room, I looked at the wall and said «That needs a bookshelf. With a sliding ladder». I was then going to write about how we planned and built it. I even had Øyvind starting on writing about the technical process. The part with LEDs, RaspberryPi, Neopixels and wiring and whatnot. And about how he’s managed to program the thing.

I had planned on starting with the planning. Just writing this cute story in logical parts showing off our amazing shelf. But no. I’ll just begin with the current end instead.

This Wednesday, 7. october, we were sitting on the sofa, relaxing. Øyvind was playing with the shelf again, and suddenly I saw a working snake moving across it. I Instagrammed it (because holy fuck, that’s awesome), and thought nothing else of it.

<SNIP>

In case you didn’t get that:
He proposed through our effin’ bookshelf!
