The game

Stackwars is a two-player competitive stacking game built with Arduino in May 2025. Two LED matrices provide the play fields, while dedicated controls let both players compete on the same physical machine.

Real-time control

The game uses nonblocking Arduino code so input, display updates, timing, and game-state changes can operate together without stopping the interaction.

Recognition

Stackwars received the Master of Sensors special award in 2025.
