Build and play your own LCD-based running game using Arduino UNO, a 16x2 LCD Display, and a Push Button.
This project demonstrates Arduino programming, LCD interfacing, button input handling, custom character creation, animation, obstacle generation, collision detection, and score tracking. The player must jump over obstacles using a push button and survive as long as possible to achieve a higher score.
Perfect for:
- Arduino Beginners
- Electronics Hobbyists
- School Students
- Engineering Students
- Mini Project Demonstrations
- Embedded Systems Learning
The project can be built on real hardware or explored using the included Tinkercad simulation.
