5. My Experience With Makey Makey Over the past few days my classmates and I have been given the opportunity to make our very own makey makey creation. Myself along with Will, Keaton, Andrew, and Jared created our very own sword fighting game in which you must touch your opponents tin foil armor with your tin foil coated sword to gain points. First person to touch their opponents armor 10 times is victor. We programmed our own visual basic program to act as a score board for the game.
