How to make an Interactive 2 player Arcade Game using WS2811 LED Strip and Arduino Nano

This interactive two-player arcade game is controlled by an Arduino Nano, which acts as the central processing unit for the entire system. Players interact with the game using two flat AHF push buttons connected to the digital input pins of the Arduino Nano. When a button is pressed, the microcontroller registers the input and updates the game logic accordingly. Visual feedback is provided by a WS2811 addressable LED strip, which is driven by data signals from the Arduino Nano utilizing the FastLED library to create dynamic patterns, scores, or game states along the strip. Audio feedback is simultaneously generated through a buzzer, providing audible cues for actions, points, or game events. Power is supplied by a 7.4V Li-ion battery, regulated or routed safely through a manual switch to turn the system on and off. Mechanically, the Arduino Nano, wiring, and electronics are housed securely inside a custom acrylic casing held together structurally using M3 x 50mm spacers, M3 x 20mm spacers, and M3 x 10mm bolts, ensuring a clean and durable finished arcade unit.
