London Hardware Hackathon

As part of a London Hardware Hackathon, hosted by Granola AI in August 2026, my project partner and I built an embedded Bop It! game using an ESP32-S3 and touchscreen LCD.

The goal of the game is to make as many consecutive correct moves as you can. Our implementation supports three moves: Bop it, twist it, and swipe it. The on-board IMU was used to detect twist it, and the touchscreen driver was used to detect the other moves.
