The Robot Game

"The Robot Game" was my final, self-directed project for my university robotics course. I opted to develop a game where the player controls both a real Arduino robot and an in-game robot sprite with the purpose of reaching the on-screen goal.

Since I constructed and coded the Ardunio robot myself (I gave it the name "Glover Sock 2"), there is not really a way for this game to serve its full purpose without that specific model which already has been dismantled. I thus have attached a video demonstration of how the game is meant to be played with my Arduino robot plugged into my laptop for portfolio purposes. The game can still be playable on its own. There are a range of difficulties that can make the in-game robot and/or goal disappear over time.

A web version cannot be possible due to Godot with C#'s export limitations.
