Game and Knowledge in Electronics-Lab
There are two players. The first player plays with button
A and the second player with button B. As soon as
the battery is connected, you will hear three tones that
announce the start. Then the ball, i.e. the point of light,
flies back and forth between
LED1 and LED 6. Player 1
must press his button when
LED1 goes on, player 2 when
LED6 goes on. The ball will fly
faster and faster until the first
players misses a hit. Then
you will hear a long tone,
all LEDs go on and the game
starts from the beginning.
This is a simplified version of the classic
game Pong, which was played with a
joystick on a monitor. Pong was the first
video game and came out in 1972.
There were digital joysticks, with which
you could move your bat up and down
to hit the ball. You will use an LED
strip and two push-buttons instead;
the loudspeaker is also used again.
The programme is selected with the
connection G-H.
