How It Works
The Arduino Star Wars Jedi X Deathstar Game leverages the power of Arduino, an open-source electronics platform, to create an engaging and interactive experience. The setup involves building a custom, micro-console equipped with an OLED display and some buttons, allowing you to control your Jedi Starfighter in the game.

The game takes place in a virtual 2D environment and as a Jedi, your mission is to pilot your X-wing spacecraft through the unforgiving, outer Space while avoiding obstacles and enemy fire. Guide your X-wing with precise movements through the pushbuttons at your fingertips to move and shoot - unleash the Force to obliterate any threats in your path.
