Scott, our son is now 17 years old. He is a non-verbal autistic. It has become very difficult to keep him occupied and happy. He likes flashing lights and different sounds, but all the toys in his hands don't last two minutes with him.

As parents, we wanted to find out if he could handle colours and understand action-reaction, so I made him this simple LED game. Or as I call it: Scott's Arcade

It has various simple play modes, and is theoretically indestructible compared to stuff from the shops. Hopefully. This game is rather intended for children, teenagers or adults with mental limitations.

I had this idea in my head for a very long time and it took me almost 3 months to realise this project in my free time.

I also tried to document the progress as quickly as possible, but the sequence of when and how I realised something is a bit back and forth. But in the end it all came together and I think you can see this one as a basic idea for other games. For example, a bigger or nicer case, or a higher resolution with more LEDs. For every person with special needs, and the name says it all, you have to build something customised. I hope that this prototype here will inspire the maker community to realise something. Nobody else will do it for us.
