Arduino Laser Command
Laser Command is a game which is built using a 8x8 matrix LED and an Arduino Mini.
The name "Laser Command" comes from an old game called Missile Command.
In Missile Command, you are asked to shoot enemy's missiles using missiles. In Laser Command, you shoot using laser, i.e., a laser pointer. The most interesting part in this game is that the game uses a laser pointer as a two-dimensional input device in conjunction with a matrix LED.
