This project uses the MaKey MaKey (www.makeymakey.com), a dragon character with a quarter glued to it's feet, and a game board with circular spots where the character can be placed that will trigger an action in the Scratch project. The quarter completes the circuit between the nail heads, which causes the MaKey MaKey to generate a key-press that the Scratch Project can act on. The game board should be decorated with a paper overlay for the specific game being played.
For Scratch Day 2013! This is a sample project to show how this device could be used to make a simple interactive game-board. This is a virtual pet project - the dragon goes different places depending on where you place the character on the board. To test it, use the arrow keys :)
