Fancify the Game (Stretch Goals) #8

Goal

Time and Arduino pins permitting, upgrades can be made to this prototype (not including the obvious of replacing the scavenged hardware with more suitable parts). This issue will be home to all the upgrades that I would like to make, but either aren't a priority for the MVP or may not be technically possible with the current hardware limitations.

Ideas

  1. Add a web server to maintain state, host a leaderboard, and automatically post results to my (currently theoretical) portfolio website. Unfortunately, the current Arduino does not have web capabilities, so a web server relay would need to be acquired, in addition to the hosting, etc.
  2. Add different levels to the game (i.e. start with randomly generated blocks already on the field/being placed every 10 lines, no i pieces, etc.)
  3. (Prior to the inevitable deconstruction of the circuitry) Design and film a commercial for the prototype, for posterity
  4. Add a speaker that plays music that varies in intensity with how close the Tetrinos get to the top of the screen
  5. Free up my Arduino and hardware components by designing a PCB that can be housed in its own self-contained unit (assuming the design is suitable for regular use).
