This is my business card.
Idea
I want a business card to express myself. I want it to have some games that the user can play. The idea is to have a led matrix where you can play snake or tetris or other simple games. It could be possible to add 2 player games.
Hardware
The project can be found here ProProject_businesscard_2024-08-30.epro.
Technical
I decided to have 4 buttons and to have a 8 by 8 led matrix. It is nicer and more proper to
use 8 bit shift registers instead of the gpio pins directly. Here I use two of the cheap 74HC595 registers. For the processors I opted for a stm32f401.
Price
Battery is not included.

Next Time I order 5 PCBs to make the cards the cards will be less than that. The button, LEDs, and shift registers will be available here already.

Design
I want the two games to be intertwined and represented on the board. I used replica to generate the image that is visible in the center between the controls.
Prompt: Tetris logo snake in front

On the left side I show the basic Tetris blocks.
On the right side I want to show the Snake in the game snake but realistic. I also want it to go around the controls a bit.
Let’s draw up a sketch 🐍. We can use something like Excalidraw.
perfect snake.
Now I used OpenArt.ai to generate the image.
Final design:
