hey guys!
i'm absolutely new here in this field and have some questions about the project i wanna start.
it's a project for my university. the main topic just is "arduino programming" and i thought about the following...
i wanna make a simple game which is controllable via a controller (for example a box).
that controller reacts via incline. so if i incline it right, the character of the game shall walk right and if i incline it left, it shall walk left. if i move the controller up, it shall jump. i still don't know if its a 2d or 3d game.
is it right that i need the arduino mini and an accelerometer for this?
where can i buy just the accelerometer (not in a kit) or what else do i need for this project then?
how can i realize it (approach)??
thank you so much!
