#adafruitextracredit "Circuit Jouster", a game where you have to keep a Circuit Playground level for as long as possible. It keeps track of your "score" (2 points per second) and displays it at the end of the game.
so named because it's an implementation of Johann Sebastian Joust, or at least what I think that game is because I've never played it, where you have to keep a controller steady and people try to mess with you

Ha! Reminds when when I was learning how to play ping pong and I had to learn how to balance the ball on the paddle first.

Guess the correct button 10 times in a row to win.

@hard stream I didn't realize I had to submit my extra credit on the site too. the google form doesn't have a discord link (https://www.adafruit.com/extracredit?utm_source=Adafruit+Products+Newsletter&utm_campaign=ce17b008b7-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_08_21&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f5693aed98-ce17b008b7-114313353)

Here is my #adafruitextracredit #circuitplayground project: -- 'Scary Smart Gothic Lanterns' https://tinwhiskerz.com/2017/08/29/scary-smart-gothic-lantern/

that looks awesome!

really nice!

heh, and here i was thinking I was the only person thinking of a lantern project... Nice job. Need to get mine finished now.
wild jacinth
thank you 😃
lapis junco
did anything ever come of this? the only extra credit blog posts I saw were from adafruit employees
wild jacinth
@lapis junco I haven't heard anything. I saw a tiny note on the Adafruit ExtraCredit page that folks might still be reviewing what was submitted. I put a ton of work into those lanterns making a custom remix, a new part to cover the electronics from above, LOTS of new/fun code and shared all that (with documentation) and made videos of it all but haven't heard anything either other than a RT. Im hoping others will use /re-use it and learn from it.
@lapis junco did they ever share how many winner(s) there might be or what the prize is? (if any?) My sons and I are still really sad as we never got a Gus the green LED pin during the last pin promo. I made 3 orders during the month or so they were out and got Billie and Ruby but missed the last one by a day or so -- we were sad when Gus wasnt in the box. (as a Dad its tough to make three $100+ orders in under a month to try and get them) . I also signed up for this Discord app the first day I learned about the sparky pin thing and submitted a pic of an epic 3D print failure + hashstags but not sure if Adafruit folks saw or or maybe didn't like it enough as I only recall a sparky set of posts where they picked a fail by one of their contributors as the winner for the week. I like that they do this stuff and hope I can make something that helps others to keep on making. 😃
strange vortex
@wild jacinth Ill trade you a gus pin for a mho pin
wild jacinth
@strange vortex The only duplicate pin I have is a Cappy but I'd be willing to trade Cappy for a Gus
strange vortex
I already have cappy
wild jacinth
OK, np. I'll double check tonight when I get home from work to see if I got a second Mho, but IIRC I think Cappy was the only duplicate I got.

wow. birthday balloons or lipo batteries? not sure...

How do they recycle those, anyway? I would think we'd want to recover the lithium and maybe some of the controller circuitry...

Being in the uk I don’t get to join in the live shows easily but here goes my first post. It gave a squeal before Sparky ran a mock! My first experience of QFN, reflow might not have fully worked!

@urban orbit Welcome! We're happy to have you and your smoke! Post this to #show-and-tell with the #sparky tag to be considered for a Sparky pin! You usually only need to post in one channel, but #sparky is special to #show-and-tell 😃
@urban orbit https://blog.adafruit.com/2017/08/29/celebrate-mistakes-together-with-sparky-the-blue-smoke-monster-adafruit-discordapp-adafruit/ explains all of it if you'd like to know more
urban orbit
Wrong place, not after a pin. Just enjoying the ride and thought I’d share my qfn pain!
pulsar cliff
You don't have to be after the pin! We want to celebrate mistakes too since we all have them and seeing them helps all of us know that. That's part of the ride! But that's totally up to you. We're happy to have you along and super happy to have you sharing with us! 😃
Thank you so much for sharing! That was a good catch with the video

hey @tranquil bridge do you have a link for that tank? that's awesome and looks like it'd be a great project for our after-school program
tranquil bridge
Hi @undone sedge I looked it up on gethub by searching robot chassis. I designed a simple platform for the CP and the crikit to sit on and also printed a turret for the a servo to fit in that mounted to a cover I also designed. I will post a photo later when i get home.
If i did it over again i would have gone with servos for the motors to the tracks as well.

@tranquil bridge Ah cool - can you drop in the github link when you post the pics?
