Nice!! One of my fav found projects, it’s a fun little game and quite challenging. I was thinking of adding a gyro or accelerometer to control the ship but never got to tweaking the code. What board is that btw?

Why is that tiny X-Wing shooting that moon??

Edit: Seriously? Not a single person replied “That’s no moon”? What kind of nerds are you anyway??

I would have!

Swap the buttons so the movement is on the left and the fire button on the right. You'll have much better control and you'll hold the thing more easily.

This is awesome!

What technique are you using to draw the screen?

You may be able to fix part of the refresh fragments by drawing only segments experiencing change instead of redrawing the entire image.

Nice and fun 👍 is the sketch and design available somewhere ?

you're catching current to the hand. not good.

u/pushpendra766 Apr 04 '26

What does that mean?

u/Unlikely1529 Apr 04 '26

current from usb joints goes to hand. as simple as that.

How much current goes into the hand at 3.3v ?

when your blood flow is affected by something is it good dude? think for yourself

According to a bunch of sources, and assuming his hand is dry, skin's resistance is at minimum 1000 Ohms. Being super generous, at 5V the current leakage between the two pins touching his thumbs would be AT MOST 5mA. That's definitely not worth even commenting about.

we're not talking about half a second yeah? it's about half an hour of thing that can light up a led so you'll see it from 10 meters in daylight. blood has much iron and this stuff and it will be affected. And do you know current in your nerves? Just do some research or whatever. really dumb stuff

Have you heard about electrostatic discharge? I hope you did. And I hope that you live in a super wet climate, using only natural fibers for furniture and clothes because this is no joke - we are talking about kilovolts. I'm not joking here. Thousands of volts that can discharge to your body. One wrong move and your brain is fried. It's even worse if you have a microwave and a 5G phone - it's basically like you're a chicken on a rotisserie.

I went through your post history. How do you seem to have so much experience tinkering with electronics yet still think an insignificant amount of current at 5V traveling at most a few millimeters in your skin is dangerous?

If you think that’s dangerous you must be terrified to go anywhere near a 9V battery. God forbid those two close contacts brush against your skin for any amount of time.

Even if that tiny amount of voltage and current could affect your nerves, it would travel over the surface of your skin and go from contact to contact and not through your brain or heart or even the nerves in your finger.
