Introduction

Would you like to build a rocket launching game? How cool would it be to launch the rockets from your Maker bench or bedroom? Since launching real rockets is a bit beyond the scope. We’re going to use four pushbutton switches and the Arduino microcontroller to build a virtual rocket launcher. The rest is done in Processing. The electronic components to build this gadget are shown in the Parts List. The Rocket Launcher is shown in Figure 19-1.
